Title pretty much says it all. Im a graphic artist in FL, and ive been working at this company for over a year.
Now, im not a political person. I stay out of politics for the most part. After all, when most of it is just billionaires doing one horrible thing after another, you kinda just go numb to it after a while.
But work is a different story. These arent “far off millionaires” they're my coworkers. I have to see (and worse, HEAR) them every DAY!
What do these lovely people have to say you might ask?
Well, its mostly a tangled mess of racism, worshiping the orange man, hating on ANYTHING non-conservative, mixed in with a sprinkle of homophobia/transphobia directed at me.
I've even been threatened by a coworker before. I did everything right, i brought it to my bosses attention BOTH times it happened, and both times i got brushed off because “oh i (boss) know him (guy who threatened me) he wouldnt actually do it so were not doing anything)
I have applied EVERYWHERE i can, but so few places offer anywhere near a liveable wage around here. I want to move, but i cant get enough money together to actually fund it. I feel like im in a constant cycle of dealing with horrible people, and getting just enough sleep to do it again the next day.
Ya Girls losing hope here…. any advice? Or am i as f*cked as i think.
