Our employers are constantly gaslighting everyone into working more hours because they “really really need us and we're a family”. And they ask so nicely and obviously the whole companies success is our responsibility too so if we deny extra hours we are 1 lazy 2. irresponsible 3. causing others to suffer because they need to work harder.
I just don't understand how some of the colleagues also adapted this toxic mentality from our employers, are they scared or brainwashed i don't know? But I fucking hate it.
Now, I like going to work because it gives my life routine, purpose and distraction, but I can't work overtime every 2-3 days. Once a week is fine, but now it has been so normalized.
They make you feel like a worthless, lazy piece of shit for wanting more free time.
