How do I prepare myself mentally to leave a toxic company?

I've been working for this small company for almost 1.5 years. It's my very first full-time job after graduation, so back then I was really unaware of what's normal and what's not. It's a small company; 3 people in my department (including me), 2 people in the other department, the boss's wife is the one taking care of the HR matters while his daughter is the admin and handling petty cash, so altogether 8 people in the office. I guess my first red flag for this company was when last year, one of the engineers from the other department asked for a raise, then the boss called for a meeting. During the meeting, he was humiliating the engineer in front of all of us and telling him how he doesn't deserve a raise, even brought up the engineer's personal matters like how he shouldn't be living with his girlfriend even…

Advice for quitting seasonal work after I said I’d stay!!!

I got casual farm work for the planting/sowing period and the farm boss asked me what my plans were after, I said nothing really (had no plans just needed work to fill in and earn some coin) and he asked if I wanted to stay on full time for a bit. I said I’d be keen (2 weeks ago) but now my plans have changed and I have a chance to go travelling later in June, am I an ass for quitting because of this? Very nervous to approach it as feel like I’m letting him down.

Abolish Captialism

Fuck these systems we were born into and forced to participate in. Fuck congress, fuck democracy, fuck having all these labels. We're humans on earth and the earth provides for us all. Fuck the politicians and billionaires who put price tags on basic human needs and rights. This is our home and they've tricked us into believing it's not. And Fuck the police.

Hop Toad Technique

I quit a job that wasn’t good for me. Big time christian conservative vibes. I was a good worker they got my sweat but but they wanted more. I needed to do more to do more. I’ve bled while they’re making excuses for others doing less. I had a lot of freedom when working for them but there was too much deception and lack of Christian accountability(which thing these days). They were not going to get my tears. I gave 2 weeks but was done in 1 week. They understood. I started a new job a week later. I had immediate regrets. Kinda got depressed about the move I made even though I was making more moolah. My boss was a little prick one of those guys that thinks he’s cool. To quote his cringe “I am Superman” when referring to himself. Well, this guy hired me to spite my…

Companies/LLCs own half of my street

Was just told rent is going up ~24% at renewal. Looked into county records, these investment companies own half of the houses on my street. They can practically set the price whatever the heck they want if they just all gang up! Infuriating! https://preview.redd.it/0ufqpwbpt33b1.png?width=1659&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=2a4b7694804b1acd88ef502dc76fa5304b67bba6

Benefits don’t pay my bills

Current employer is like this. I'm just waiting it out for experience, which I shouldn't have to do with my resume, but the paper ceiling has got me. An untenable wage today isn't worth gambling my future for.

Exit strategy?

Thinking about leaving my current job for a wfh job (yay no more 40 hr weeks!). What would the best exit strategy be? Is it right to give 2 weeks notice for a job where you dont need a replacement? Also worried about coworkers being upset w/ me for a whole two weeks before I leave and really don't want to deal with that.
