Any one else?

Mine is ignoring me from the looks of things, so much for compliments and dont hesitate to contact us … Ik i can take the legal route which im entitled to but i dont want to …im exhausted and itll do me more harm than good what yall do?
So, review season is coming up for me (41f). Historically, this is approximately a month of panic and stress leading up to D-Day, as my review itself is inevitably so hostile and demeaning that I leave in tears, despite a lot of mental preparation. Some backstory; this is my fourth year at a multi-partner firm. These guys are old-school boomer stock; they typically will take note of any mistakes without bothering to communicae about them in real time so I can remedy the issue, or else they will speak down to me in derogatory tones, using super belittling language. I am vastly undervalued. My job is a symphony of details. I act in a support capacity, and have 11 people asking me for things daily, from quick tasks to major projects. I have a very methodical and exhaustive organizational system, which has cut down on mistakes, but I still drop…
First hand knowledge?
Two friends said this companys boss who arranges trailer routes does it very well so I should work there. Fair enough, I went and agreed on basic principles. If away from home, I have 12 hours work (can drive 9 hours, rest other work), but I live in central location so no worries 2-3 days a week at home with semi/larger. Another, I do not work on Saturday/Sunday. Comes first friday afternoon at 5pm, I check computer for my next load: saturday 9 am ship arrives… I call boss, remind I'm about five hours from home, and don't work on weekends as agreed. He says “I know”. I ask for another load, he says there is nothing. I drive home. I get a call monday at 11am where am I – I say I am driving towards the harbor from home to pick up the load. Boss is silent for…
How To Take Action
Anytime you're job hunting and see a job that's 1099 or an Independent Contractor job like in sales but you see it has requirements that would be classified as an employee please report that. There's so many employers getting away with this to profit at the employees expense. My experience is in sales and marketing and commission only jobs don't make sense. They're only paying me when I'm successful rather than paying me for my actual work. I should be paid to work and incentivized for success. Take action every chance you get, I know with not working I'm bored and I wanna be productive so instead of just complaining to this circle jerk, complain to people who can do something about this maybe. At least gives me something to do so I maybe can accomplish a little bit of good in this wicked world.
I am getting ready to see a lawyer for some issues. In order to keep my evidence, I need to dump all my emails from outlook into a USB or something similar. Is there a way or some sort of app to do this? No emails have confidentiality attached to them.
Tinfoil Hat Time
So what do y'all think the likelihood is that a bunch of corporate real estate owners got together with their biggest lesees and said, “Hey buddy, if you institute a return to work policy we'll give you x% off your lease for the next couple of years.” I couldn't figure out why so many companies would be willing to throw away hundreds or thousands of manhours into commutes for largely computer-driven jobs, but it would make total sense if their now very underutilized corporate lease burdens could be lessened by forcing people back into the office. And the leaseowners sure would like people to get back into the office, since they're likely also residential property owners interested in keeping rents and property values high, which the elimination or decimation of downtown offices and subsequent possible conversion into residential property would undoubtably do.
