am I gaslighting myself?

When I sit down and think about how I'm being exploited in the workplace, I feel angry, confused, and hurt. Then I challenge those thoughts with, “I'm lucky to have a paying job” and “plenty of people have it worse than I do.” Essentially, minimizing my experience and questioning whether my feelings are valid. It stops me from making moves. Y'all, where are these brain messages coming from? Am I subconsciously buying into capitalist propaganda? How do you keep your thinking on track?

Leave me alone

My boss earns £47k a year whilst I barely hit 22k, he still insists on me doing rotas and texts me on my days off about them. Told him today that I wouldn't be able to help as I am on my days off, he then had a huff and told me the close last night was shit. Cool, still on my day off though.

Fired for aksing to get payed on time, entire company crashed and burned after.

So this happend a while ago but I thought I'd share since it seems kinda fitting. I'm a uni student and do tutoring on the side, mostly maths for people close to their A-levels. Used to be that I did this as a quasi-freelance guy for a local tutoring agency, that also employed my mother (relevant later on). All admin stuff was done by the owner and his father (a very nice dude actually), I just had to write down my hours and I'll get my pay at the end of the month. Some time in the father retired and the bosses new gf took over. Thats when things went downhill quickly. They wanted to give us equipment (pens and stuff), but wanted us to pay a deposit for those (refused to pay for it, just used my own stuff). They also never cleaned the rooms where the lessonst took…

Utility price raising in line with inflation? Understandable. But why also another 3.8%? Greed!!
