I've had this office job a family friend offered me after moving regions and struggling to find work for about 5 months now (feel free to look at my post history for context)
I'm being coerced to work illegaly and i'm being paid next to nothing (1.50$ when converted to USD) i was able to contact the boss yesterday and she told me if i don't radically improve until the end of the next month she's letting me go, the friend told me she's kicking me out if i don't “socialize more” and sighn up for a course or a past time activity and i need to “do something with myself”. I have really bad social anxiety and anxiety + depression over all and i only took this job out of desperation but i'm getting fucked over big time. I'm expected to spend money on a past time activity and go way over my boundaries for 1.50 an hour and risking getting in big trouble ??? I'm being coerced into staying and taken advantage of because it's really hard for me to find and keep a job and she knows it. I've been gaslighting myself telling myself they mean well and i'm unemployable etc but i know that's not true (i loved my former job i had to move away from and i just am happy in my small social circle) i'm really scared to quit because a family member who's renting us an apartment knows the family friend and he is threatning to throw me out if i end up jobless again/quit this job (i do pay rent jobless or not) and i know the friend would guilt trip me. I feel so exploited and talked down to and trapped and i dread going to work every day. But i don't have the balls to just not come and say i'm quitting to her face. This is such an awful situation that if there wasn't for my partner and my sister and mom i'd end it all. It doesn't help that new job offers are extremely scarse around here.
