Last year I was working on average 70 hours a week for a company that tore me down like nothing else. I was crying at least 3 times a week and management would tell me what a horrible job I was doing and how everything bad that happened was my fault. My coworkers called me names and yelled at me, took their stress out on me and I couldn't do anything about it. My manager started touching me and masterbating in front of me and the company blamed me for that too. I thought I was the worst worker and person and thought about ending it a few times.
Started a new job in December for a local company and its the complete opposite. I've been minding my own business and trying to lay low, just do what I'm told so I don't get yelled at again. Well, on Friday I get called into the bosses office and I'm thinking I'm screwed, I've fucked up like always and theyve noticed. Turns out he's giving me a raise and he's very happy with my work. He told me the good things I was doing and where I need to be headed in the next few months where there'll be another review and the opportunity for another raise. I almost cried, not one bad thing was said.
It's really eye opening how huge an effect a workplace has on someone. Went out to have a small celebration with my family and they told me in just 5 months I'm like a new person again. Fuck big companies and fuck the people so far up their ass that they cant see the individuals anymore, only workers and employess.
