Just an observation.
I got a job now, they're the second best paying on this business, and my current colleagues that used to work at the best paying place said no amount of money could pay for the abuse you had to endure.
Boss is a good guy! . We ask for improvements, he does them. If we get sick, he trusts our judgement, and offers to help, like w/ meds. We've felt overworked, he made a few changes, it got better. He's there working among us every day.
But there's no way around this: the pay isn't much, and what he does actually should be the norm. So I'm switching careers, got a better offer, my life will improve tremendously, and I still feel bad for leaving, because my actual boss is decent. Things are so terrible, that one dude being fair gets me all emotional. Is this Stockholm Syndrome?
