Month: March 2023

First, thank you to those who checked on me. I’m very stressed and needed a break from it all. This past week has been an absolute nothing burger of a nightmare. I am exhausted from it all. So here’s the non-update update : When I returned to work this week, it got worse as predicted. Most notably, we have a pregnant person on our team. She and I have never clicked and not surprisingly she is one of the hold outs on the team. She sees nothing wrong with the new imposter among us. Day one, they have been gossip buddies, and well she’s a Regina George. They truly deserve one another. That was until he stole her office out from underneath her… George Santos strikes again. She was provided this space since promoting and being pregnant this was a smart step that will allow her to pump in peace…

I have been the top producing salesman in my company for 5 years now. My contract has always been 3% of gross invoice and a base of 50k. Boss brought me in the office and said since the economy is slowing down everyone has to “take a bite out of the same shit sandwich” they are capping me now at a max of 120k/ year total. I made 130k in commission ALONE last year. I'm beyond words I have no clue what to do now.

So I'm getting laid off, I got a notice (the one upside)… but yea I'm broken. I'm not going to be able to do it any more. ​ Worse part? I have a family to take care of… a lucky person with an actual house… but I don't think I'll have them for very long. ​ I'm trying to find remote work right now, but I don't think it's out there any more… at least enough that pays me what it's going to take to care for my family. ​ I'm kind of at the end point though, I can't work to exist anymore and I don't want to exist in soul crushing poverty… fuck if I lose the house I'm taking my self out. I can't live in another apartment building tiny and the rent would be the cost of my fucking mortgage anyways. ​ I just don't know…
