I have a job that I really like, as far as jobs go, and I think my company treats its employees well, but these guys are driving me crazy with this fake positivity “we’re all in this together” bullshit. I’m not comfortable sharing details of my life with my team to build an emotional connection. There’s an attempt to convince people that we choose employment based on the company’s empathy and diversity, not the job we’ll be doing and our pay rate. And my whole team, we’re on a call talking about whatever the topic of the day is, and they’re like, “Oh yeah, great, I think it’s really valuable how we…” blah blah fake bs and I know they have to be thinking the same thing I am, right? Just stop. Be a good company that hires/pays fairly and treats its employees well. Don’t force us to drink the…

My work has a strict points based attendance policy you get sick and go to the doctors and get a note, but don’t have enough PTO, you’ll still get a point. So basically if you get sick without PTO, because say you are a new employee or just went on vacation, they’d punish you for not going to work sick.

Listen, I’m not a big fan of this sub, but I think your heart is in the right place and have no where else to post this. I feel like I am being gaslighted and the public is being gaslighted about the new loans to the banking industry not being a bailout.

Here is what is happening: The Fed just made a department that will give the banking industry loans against their negative collateral. Let me repeat this for importance. This new facility allows them to borrow against their negative collateral. This accounts for 200 BILLION DOLLARS in just the top four banks. They can borrow at PAR, instead of the losses they should rightfully take(like everyone else will). This comes with No Regulations. This comes with…

Long time lurker, first time poster. 29, Male, chronically depressed since childhood. Struggled through covid years but kept it together. Got married and bought a house. A year later I'm losing my grip on sanity. The world is fucked and all institutions in America are corrupt. Stress of trying to work through it was too much. Been with the company for nearly 6 years now. Had a mental break down in my bosses office and asked for help. They gave me some phone numbers to call and try to find a therapist. No clinics in my area taking new patients and I'm very skeptical of apps and online therapy. Put on a waiting list and still no word from anyone a week later. My employer said they'd support me in getting help but if the stress of the job is too much they'd support me while I look for a…
