Fluent (Cansortium, Inc.) is looking for a part-time curator. They’re demanding you work long hours and weekends. They’re hoping you have a Bachelor’s degree. They’re paying $13.00/hr. (found this because I asked why they were short staffed {as per their sign}. She laughed, said they don’t pay well)

ME: EXHAUSTED from all the work involved in “just get a new job lmfao”. EVERYBODY ELSE has time to “chill” and relax and have “worklife balance” I HAVE BEEN FUCKING GLUED TO MY COUCH for days now while I work ALL DAY and CRAM COURSES ALL NIGHT so I can GTFO. My back hurts and my neck hurts. Hey no problem! I don't deserve to eat or sleep or do ANYTHING ELSE. Got blasted last night for being 'lazy'. Got blasted THIS MORNING for being 'lazy'. Got interrogated JUST NOW in front of the ENTIRE FUCKING COMPANY for not doing enough. WHAT THE FUCK. NOBODY SPEAKS UP FOR ME. To all the 'lmfao just get…
