I’m new to this sub. Glad I found it. I’ve bottled up a lot about my job because who cares, America. I am about to hit 5 years with my company. I am an administrative professional. After 5 years, I still do not make what the young lady who worked before me made (2 dollars an hour shy.) The owner had a thing for her…
I have a wife and 2 sons to provide for and my wife is a teacher, so we barely get by with a mortgage and inflation. I can’t take care of our health or vehicles, we just pray it all works out. I don’t have the “experience” to work elsewhere I assume, since I have not received any callbacks and have been trying help wanted ads these last 5 years. I feel stuck. I hate my job and I hate my pay. I feel no passion. I feel like a wasted talent. I have come to detest capitalism and corporate America and I fear I will grow old eking together this miserable existence.
I was a good student in school. I have always worked hard and smart. I have been a good husband and father… but I am just a slave to this system. Very sad.
