Purpose with no job.

I couldn’t handle the corruption and stupidity at my last job so I left. I am relatively taken care of financially, meaning I won’t be homeless but I also don’t have spending money. Where do you find purpose without work? I feel like the system is set up so unless you’re a cog in their shit machine you’re nothing and can do nothing. Can’t operate a business from my apartment and just living in an apartment is very constricting. Volunteer opportunities are very limited in this small Ohio town. What can we do day in and day out with our time? I’m single, have no friends and don’t travel. I’m just left with this feeling of “now what?”. Read and play video games and walk all day every day?

Why are we protecting terrible employers??

I've been a long time lurker of this sub and I routinely find myself asking, 'why the hell isn't OP naming the employer??' Is it against the sub rules? I'm not saying name individuals, but calling out shitty businesses and bosses for treating their employees like subhuman trash and shaming them for their behavior seems like the only way to actually enact any change. It also protects others on the sub that might be considering positions with those bad employers. Please, somebody ELI5. Thank you in advance.

My boss increased the price of Plan B in the store on purpose, after he found out I was trying to get some after being abused at a party. KNOWING that he doesn’t pay me enough to afford it.

Thanks to some caring and helpful people, I was able to avert a disaster. However, even though I had to cave into my terrible Bosses demands and pay to save myself from bigger problems down the road, which he took advantage of, I don't know why he thinks he's going to get away with it long-term. With not just witnesses, but people here helping me find some more direct numbers related to my company, I am anticipating a phone call with a major regional leader tomorrow who has jurisdiction over my state and an area that includes his store. I may even be compensated. Of course, with so many like minded managers (locally), I still will probably quit, I will wait until I get hired somewhere else first of course, but I'll still be seeking to leave this job immediately asap and hopefully get something that pays more so I…

Two weeks after leaving my full time position, I’m asked to do more work as a contractor.

Long story short – Got put on a PIP after two years of horrible management and doing the bare minimum since the bare minimum was invested into my career growth (2 years and no bonuses or raises) so I decided to leave. Now, they’re realizing they need me because I have expertise in a certain program. Do I say fuck it and decline?

Funny conversation just happened

Someone asked me why I don't have any suitcases at all and thought it was extremely weird. “What do you do when you go on vacation?” I stay at home or drive to the beach on my few days off. “When was the last time you got on a plane and traveled somewhere for vacation?” Uhh like 16 years ago I was around 9-10 and my sister who lived in Washington DC at the time graduated high school so I went and saw that. “You've never gone anywhere on vacation as an adult?” When would I have time or the ability to? I then explained to them how most companies I worked for in the past don't really have vacation time they actually have the opposite where you can only have 4 sick days a year and most companies will hold your job hostage even if you're sick I've been…
