My employer records audio on the security cameras.

This might be better suited for r/legaladvice but I dont really want to take legal action. I am currently the only employee at a mom and pop shop. They are good to me for the most part so I wouldn't want to sue. I have a long story but basically to make it short I found out the last couple weeks the security cameras record audio. My only coworker who just got fired (not pertaining to the cameras because he was apparently told when he first worked there before my time) Before he was let go he vented all his concerns about the company and did tell “mom and pop” that I was very upset learning the security cameras record audio. I spoke my peace, the convo went as follows: “That's not cool and it's not legal!” “Sullensparrow, I told you this already” “No, you didnt.” “Yes, I absolutely did!”…

Have you ever read the “description” for your job?

But their add is like 7 paragraphs long and sounds way more complicated than the job is… People probably read it and think it’s not worth the wage.

Even when you make it you pay a price.

Over the course of ten years I have been miserably selling my time for money in IT and consulting. I started my career as a software engineer and eventually to C level positions. I remember constantly thinking when I started making $x or $y I would finally be happy. When I was in charge I would finally be happy, etc… but every time I got there I wasn’t happy. Getting to this level came with depression and guilt. Everyone around me was more or less in the same spot they were ten years ago or struggling financially. I felt alone. I felt guilt for what I had. I worked and everyone around me kept living their life. I thought that making more money and making all the decisions would bring happiness. Instead, it brought the opposite. It all came to an end when my 6 year old left me a…

Are we like dogs?

My kids want a dog and started to watch dog training videos. After seeing a few with them, a thought crept into my mind that that's very similar to how the world works for us: Provide work, food and shelter. Start training by giving treats, this associates the work with a pleasure sensation. Provide entertainment in case there's no work, so the dog's mind doesn't wonder.
