Working makes me Depressed

Everyday, I am stuck in the same repetitive loop. I get up, get ready, go to work, come home, eat, watch an hour of tv and sleep. How do people do this for 30 years? I quit.

How would you edit this email to my boss?

Hi, I feel the need to bring up a matter that's been concerning me for some time. I regret not bringing it up before our conversation on Friday (where you informed me I am to be laid off at the end of June). It's been bothering me for some time now. Several times you have dropped hints that you would like me to do things differently. I have been uncertain how to approach these problems since they were never aired candidly. Due to my mental health problems, which you are aware of, I'm not able to parse through innuendo. My concerns mainly stem from the change in the environment that I have noticed over the past few weeks. Previously, I had friendly relationships with everyone on the staff. Over the past few weeks, that has changed. This leads me to believe that you have aired your concerns about my performance…

Government & corporations are anti-science and pro-poverty

Just realized. Everyone is talking about “anti-science” “climate denier” or “anti-vaxx” And then I thought about poverty and billionaires. I think there is no more conclusive science than a fair living wage on fair terms = health and prosperity. So, now we can call corporations or governments anti-science if they refuse our condition and terms! Let us look at the cognitive dissonance apply.

My workplace is getting arsey with me because I come in on time everyday

So I've started this new workplace and been here for about 6 weeks. So far all seems good, however they get a bit weird about how on time I am. I start at 9am, so I start working at 9am. My lunch is 1-2 I'm back in the office at 1:59pm and my shift ends at 5:30pm so my computer is off at 5:30pm. Apparently they don't like this, my other colleagues are in at 8am and leave at 6pm blablabla. I hate this culture of being made to feel like a bad employee because you'd rather only work the hours you get paid for.

Reminder that HR doesn’t care.

[Not naming my employer YET. Gonna wait until I quit] My direct manager has been retaliating against me since Feb because I got her chewed out by a (much better but) different manager. I reported her to HR immediately after the first incident, and recorded all calls with her after that. HR took a whole fucking month to get back to me, to take another week to “research” and then to tell me that they have decided to not take any action. But HR was kind (/s) enough to tell me that the distress I exhibited could be talked to with the company offered mental health resources. They don't know I have our calls recorded, and IDK if I will ever tell them. Part of me wants to send all 7+ calls (each an hour long) to the CEO. The other part of me knows (well knows after getting advice…
