5 people showed up today…

I’m currently sitting in my car eating my lunch confused as to what to even do. I toss around with the idea of putting my degree to work and getting a new job (I went to 4 interviews that didn’t pan out, then they promoted me to manager). Do I just keep going in and acting like I’m not dying inside? Do I just show up and not do anything? Do I just not go back in? I’m here to support the working class no matter what, if they strike I strike, but I’m really just confused what to do.
