Antiwork

Just wondering if this question is allow for this sub, but my friend works at a Latin American country for a company at the USA, she is considered to be promoted to a SME (subject matter expert) however we think the company is thanking advantage of her because of where she is working, just curious to know how much an employee with 5 years of experience and essential for the company might be asking for a job.

Hello! I have been w/ my current employer for 4 years and I’m having panic attacks every day for months. The stress is unreal for the meager wages and no benefits so I am really tempted to just quit without having anything lined up or much savings. I feel like I literally cannot work here for another second or I could have a heart attack or something. Now… I do have an interview lined up tomorrow which I have a great intuition about.
