Antiwork

And it is all thanks to yall! Yall have taught me to know what I'm worth and to demand more and better. My last day at old job is 5/24 and is fully subject to change if they want to be any kind of shitty. My start date for new job is 6/3 so I can get a week off and chill. This job I'm leaving — like a weight off my shoulders. The culture is, well, culty. They preach “We are faaaaamily , but you are replaceable and if you leave we will never speak your name again.

I expect that any new job the benefits will be way worse. I’m trying to figure out a ballpark salary to be asking for.
