I had found a decent place – and I ruined my experience

So I had found a decent place with very good flexibility, decent benefits and a pretty good salary, and I managed to “ruin” my chance because I've become increasingly bitter with anything corporate related – partly because of this sub. I wasn't exploited, I wasn't attacked needlessly, I wasn't mocked. My coworkers are nice, I didn't have to do overtime, my boss is (mostly) nice and knows what he does and what we have to do, yet I approached the place with lots of prejudice and wrong mentality.

I have no energy because I burned myself out with spite and I have no self respect because I truly did nothing out of spite. If you are from another country than the US, take everything…

If you are from another country than the US, take everything written here with a pinch of salt because the mentality is different, the laws are different and as employees we are much more protected than the US. If I knew before this job I would have been a much more “rounded” employee with the capacity to ask for change / support when needed instead of bottling everything and resenting my employer.
