Is there any off the grid communities that you know off?

I was interested in groups like the Amish who work together and share their resources, something like off the grid but without the religious part of the Amish haha there has to be groups like this somewhere, right?

Why do I feel so guilty

Just left a toxic work situation where I was being flirted with by my supervisor like nearly every day and, and I just had it. I typed my resignation, put it in the department heads mailbox and HRs after hours box along with my badges. This job is high stress, and gives me constant anxiety in the first place. I don’t have anything lined up quite yet which makes me anxious, but I do have interviews almost every day. Does anyone else feel guilty for quitting? How do you stop?

Boss won’t give a raise unless we work 40 hours

I just wanted to post this here to check my own thoughts on this against what other likeminded(I think) people think. The story: I overheard a conversation at the office where one of my co-workers is asking for a raise and was denied because he typically only works 35 hours. They told him he needs to work 40 hours if he's having money problems and they would reevaluate from there…(yeah…) This coworker happens to be a 20 year employee, is underpaid, very experienced but burned out (imho). Several of us make more than he does. This company that we work at is a small family owned business where the upper management are all related and do very well for themselves (new cars, houses, Disney vacations and hunting trips to Argentina on the regular). I think this company has a toxic way of hoarding the earnings for themselves instead of dispersing…
