Hiring family members in most decision-making roles throughout an organization People taking most issues personally Not really being able to understand why certain decisions are being made Gaslighting such as: maybe you’re not right for this industry, the customers’ complaints aren’t even that big of a deal, you need to figure this out Everyday chaotic events with people being angry at each other Leadership fragility and casual mentions of people who could be fired

And how did this become normalized? Healthcare worker here

Really struggling with this decision so I thought I’d put it out there for some outside perspectives. We currently live in the east coast and I’m fortunate to work for a start up company that’s a novelty in the industry, I’ve been with them 5-6 years and we’ve just built a multimillion dollar facility, we’re a really small team so we’re all in leadership roles.

I am a professional educator. I have a family of four kids and an amazing wife. It is cheaper for her to stay home, so I am the sole income of the household. The first problem is that my Master's Degree required job is not enough money to live in this economy. I can't buy a house, so 40% of my check goes to rent. The second problem, though, is what prompted this post. I went to interview for a night stocking job at a local grocery store. In the application it asked what pay I wanted. I put $15/hr. Working part time with that pay would allow my family to get by and have a little bit extra. I get to the interview. The guy is nice. He talks like we are friends and makes a few jokes. Well the end of the interview comes, and he asks, “Do…
