My parents raised me to obedient, subservient, fearful of authority, and dependent on external approval. Essentially, they raised me to be someone who would almost certainly be taken advantage of in the workforce (and I have been). One habit they really ingrained in me was the habit of finishing one task and immediately asking, “What next?” As in, what more can I do for you? I finished raking all the leaves, what next? Ok, the kitchen is clean, what next? Anything else? It wasn't enough to just do what they asked and then go do my own thing. I had to ask them what else I could do, otherwise I was just being lazy. I remember getting yelled at for hanging out in my room after finishing a chore, because I should have *known* that there was more to do, and I should have *asked* to do it. “Always ask!…

I have to go back to my old job
My first thought upon this realization is that I'd rather blow my head off. Not joking. I'm 23 years old with no money and no prospects. I dropped out of college years ago to help care for dying relatives. Last summer I quit my job to move in with and care for my dying grandmother. I lived off my savings. Now as my grandmother has died and my savings has dwindled, I realize I have no choice but to return to that shithole. My car is unreliable and gas prices are through the roof. It is the only place around I wouldn't have to commute too. I hated it so much. I literally feel sick to my stomach at the thought of going back. Backed into a corner, yet again.

There was a cross post about a medical resident suicide that was locked due to off topic comments, but it being locked really irked me. I am a long time reader in this sub and have one of the most upvoted post in the subs history. I feel like the mods locking out discussion from that thread invalidates my inclusion in this subreddit. Now on to why we deserve to be a part of this movement: Medical residents are one of the most abused working classes in the USA. I will preface this with the fact that medical residents generally make 50-60k a year, so most of us are not starving (although 50-60k in VHCOL and HCOL cities is borderline poverty level). To understand the abuse you have to understand the dynamic of our job. We can be an independently practicing doctor unless we complete residency. In order…
Worked 36 hours the previous 4 days. Boss has been previously getting on me about tardiness, but fuck him because I am the only other degreed engineer here and as a result of our other only degreed engineer leaving, I get stuck with more work to compensate the demand. Boss even sat me down and gave me a slip that says in the even that I am late (past 8 AM), I will be sent home for the remainder of the day without pay. I am hourly, not a problem. I say okay and move on with my life. We have meetings on Fridays @ 8:45 AM. Arrive at work today @ 8:35 AM, slept in a little bit since I have been traveling to work sites the last 4 days, and I am a type of person where if I need to stay late in the day and…
