The idea that any time I spend not on “production” of some type is time wasted and I feel lazy. I also have ADHD so I can’t focus on anything leading to circles of self loathing and anxiety.

In my opinion it is always ill intentioned, but I want to see if others feel the same. I was in a meeting today that I likely shouldn’t have been. The discussion was way over my head and outside of my expertise. A lot of data discussion when I work in media relations. Me and 2 other colleagues didn’t contribute much if anything. As the meeting ended and everyone was saying “farewell”, one person ( not my boss & doesn’t work in my dept.) asked “[insert my name] You haven’t really said anything, do you have anything to add?” Obviously if I had something to say I would have. I just said “no, have a good day”. Just curious why people do this, why I was the only one called out, and how to get around situations like this in the future. Particularly when the content is over my head…

Today everyone in my division was promoted and given a pay increase. We have all been around for the same amount of time, some a year or so more than others. I didn’t get a dime. I’m stuck at the same salary (50k) for three years now. Was not given an explanation either. I had a good performance review. I feel humiliated. I didn’t even approach my boss about it today because I felt like I was gonna break down and cry while talking to them about it.

I’m a web developer/general I.T guy for an architecture firm. Over the past year my boss has acted like a man child, has expected complex projects to be finished in completely unrealistic times, has threatened me that he will “come to my house” to “discuss the future” (basically gaslighting me that he was going to fire me) and prior to me working remotely, ignored me in the office making life incredibly uncomfortable as I “broke his trust and the golden rule” for requesting to be able to work from home. He ignored all attempts to fix communication, has insulted me privately to co workers and has overall just been shitty. The best part is, it seems I’m jumping ship at a good time. The business is going downhill due to his poor decisions and actions, they’re losing profit and although I feel for my co workers, he deserves that. I’ve…

With a bottle of fake piss in my taint….again. Nervous as hell, and I live in a legal state. Fucking buuuuuuulllshiti gotta go through this

TLDR: Hate the company I work for, other companies in my field would either be low pay/over worked/with health insurance or higher pay/not over worked/but no health insurance. This situation has me so depressed & anxious. WTF can I do? The company I work for is terrible, upper management has everything in the company messed up & don't give a f* about the employees, the company is fighting against the union we just started (in the contract bargaining process now), the health insurance is shit really but is usable for me now. I spent the last couple years with basically no medical care & the medical care I did get I had to fight the insurance company on it. It's just a terrible insurance plan & the insurance company didn't give a f* & wouldn't help. Dealing with the health insurance issues & not having much medical care the last…
