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.
Now I have to find another place and I have no guarantee to find a better job, a better environment, or even to match this one. 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 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.
