Just got a new job after 3 months unemployment. While I'm glad to not be homeless, I'm going from 5 weeks vacation to 2, from full-time remote to dragging my ass to a cubicle 3 days a week. The worst part is putting that fake fucking smile on my face so my new bosses can't tell how much I despise being there.
Brother I feel you, but you still have a golden ticket. I just wound up back at minimum wage breaking my back, somehow, and I think about killing myself every day. I was making $22 an hour, great benefits, vacation time, etc. All gone because I was stressed out and thought I could find something else. Now I have nothing at all but overdrawn accounts and a million bill collectors calling me every day threatening me. Life could be worse.
I feel this and it's honestly one of my greatest fears. I did customer service for so long to get where I was working for petty bullies with management titles.
