I work for one of the top companies in the world. Not in FAANG, but very close. Even with the company making money hand over fist the higher ups call in from their mansions and demand we start going in Office to justify taxes they get from the state. I asked if I could get an additional monitor for in office and was told we “didn’t have the budget.” this company is worth over two trillion dollars and still penny pinches their workers. literally mind numbing. lifting myself out of poverty was amazing, but the rich and in power are truly greedy at every tier, even if it would benefit their employees and in turn benefit them. i dream of the day i quit.
Really. I hate it when companies expect so much out of their employees and only pay them peanuts in return.

There was a huge 5-alarm fire at my husband's workplace today. It was at a warehouse with 2 large buildings that are fairly close together. He was told to stay put and keep working despite all the smoke due to the fire not being in his specific building. They were trying to bribe people to stay and work with food. He told his manager he was leaving and didn't care about getting in trouble, he didn't feel safe. About 10 minutes after he leaves, there were explosions because trucks outside caught fire. I saw the smoke several towns over and even had debris fall on our house. It was so large, it showed up on weather radar. According to his coworkers, anyone who didn't leave when my husband did was stranded in the parking lot until 5pm. It was absolutely ridiculous. They were putting all of their lives in danger…
