Why must every job I get go the same way?

I seem to be stuck in an endless loop. I need a job to be able to live, then I get one, then I slowly start to lose my mind as I hate the work and my boss treats me like trash, I become more and more depressed, it starts to affect my work, I start making excuses to not go in, I lose my job, And now I need a job again. It is just so frustrating that I get forced into doing something that makes me miserable.

What’s the ideal wage to live a good enough life?

It may depend on location and the size of family. For a life where you don't have to worry about not being able to afford basic things, what's the ideal amount for you? I never knew things were so fucked up for the majority of middle class people from the rich countries. There's certainly a lot wrong with the system.

Playing games all day in my last WFH week.

I started a new job in November 2021, the role was temporarily remote due to the UK gov issuing a work from home order. I'm good at the job and enjoy it, especially working from home, not losing 8 hours a week commuting and not having to pay to get to work. I love being able to cook myself a hot lunch and spend my break with my partner or catching up on some chores. The office manager, in order to justify her job is demanding that we all come into the office full time. I personally have no interest in doing so and made it clear to them that I wasn't going to. Of course they threatened my job and told me I'll will have to be in next week. I pushed back , booked some time off and said that I wouldn't be able to come in for…

From the top comments: It seems like a little but the actual train even the overhead gives him a decent margin. Not a jerk forward motion but FREE to take deep BREATHS.

I overheard someone say: “We don’t have a Justice system, we have a legal system; you get as much justice as you can afford.”

Dont know what to do

Not a native English speaker so yeah.. the works.. I started a new job at the beginning of 2022 and I think that I made a mistake.. The company seemed really good, but now I find out that a lot of people have been quitting and I guess that was the reason that they were hiring in the first place (which they told me they were expanding btw). Today the head manager was transferred to another position (TBD), apparently for personal reasons but his reaction to the news led me to believe otherwise. I feel like everything is going to shit, I work on the service/installation engineer area of vey specific industry and I honestly don't know enough of the equipment to make it work, more than half the team is new and is in the same position as me or worse. It's not been a long time since I'm…
