my fellow humans, esteemed members of the ruling class, I write to you today to extol the virtues of the society that you, the ruling elite, have crafted—a society steeped in corruption and decadence, where power and privilege reside in the hands of the select few. In this world that has been meticulously constructed by the ruling class, your influence holds sway over the masses, ensuring that your interests are perpetually protected and your coffers overflow with ill-gotten wealth. You revel in the exploitation of the working class, whose toil and sweat line your pockets while their dreams wither away. Behold the twisted notion of justice that you have cultivated—a system designed to favor the powerful and maintain the status quo. Laws are bent to serve your interests, allowing you to evade accountability for your crimes while the common people suffer under the weight of your incompetence. You have transformed…

Disclosing because I have left this position and have no ties to the company. Be me, it’s 2022, your son just turned one year old and you’re making $13/hr at a manufacturing plant. You live with your parents and you can’t afford to move out along paying for supplies and support for baby. Smoke weed. I quickly realized that I needed more money, but I have no degree. So what did I do? I started studying for a certification. It would be ~20 degrees in the plant and I’d be studying at my desk, taking breaks to wrap my hands with pocket warmers. I scoured every entry level tech type of job I could find. Finally, I found a great position offering $25/hr, no experience necessary. Took their aptitude test, passed it, passed the interviewing stage, recieved job offer. Now I was excited, I live in LCOL area and this…

I’m not an hourly employee, so I don’t get overtime pay. Tired of my boss trying to make me feel bad for not working overtime. It’s not that I’m not willing it’s simply that I don’t get paid overtime. There is literally no incentive in place for me to do extra labor. Extra labor should mean extra compensation, I mean it sounds pretty logical in my head. And I tell my boss that and he’s like “what do you mean!? I pay you!” He’s referring to just normal pay when he knows what I mean. That’s like telling a McDonald’s employee who’s been there since open “hey you wanna work til midnight tonight? You will still be receiving your normal hourly wage. It’s gonna be great, your gonna rack up a few more hours.” Lol if someone wants to do that, that’s fine, but I don’t feel as if I’m…

I’m a ‘non-associate’. Really descriptive title I have… totally doesn’t degrade the perception of me to other colleagues at all /s It just isn’t good optics and is a bad business practice. At my prior contractor job with a different company at least they put (contractor) Among other things, this job sucks ass. My boss is a micromanager and feel like my sole purpose as a contractor at this job is to be thrown under the bus. I’m assigned very little tasks and the ones I do get assigned to make little to no sense. Just a confusing work environment all around. Anyone else have a terrible contractor experience?

Maybe it's just my own depression/anxiety problems, but I struggle with dread before work every day and have for years. It starts after maybe a couple months of working at a job, and leads me to taking more sick days and possibly even quitting the job. I hate feeling this way, and I want to be able to say I've been with a company for years, but I can't help but feel trapped. I'm a great worker, but I hate going to work, and knowing I'll have to work the rest of my life fills me with existential dread. How do you make this feeling go away?
