Why is that?
Why do American movies make you look like you're doing great, but in reality you're totally fucked? I'm from Russia.

I am a staff attorney at a major nonprofit in the US. Part of my job involves compliance reporting on various political activities the organization is involved with. This means I need to calculate the amount the org has spent by using an hourly wage for the involved colleagues. Thus I now know the salary of many of my co-workers. I am one of the lowest paid staffers in the organization. I'm honestly shocked and hurt, I didn't realize I was valued so little. And I work tremendously hard. I also notice a pattern where people who have been at the org for longer than more recent hires earn considerably less. It's like we are losing money by staying put. For a progressive org that prides itself on fighting for social justice the hypocrisy leaves me feeling nauseated.
I got COVID last weekend. It's messed up that now I can actually relax and not need to answer calls when I'm not at work. When I wasn't sick when I wasn't on the clock, I would still get messages from them. Still couldn't rest too properly, because co-workers still message me even when I'm sick. Really opens my eye to the fact that jobs don't care about your well being. Oh yeah, I don't have any paid COVID days for some reason. I hate the state we're in. This whole economy right now is a fucking mess.
Tw: brief mention of suicide It's been a nerve-wracking week. For clarification, I work at a college campus overnight. I keep watch of security cameras and make sure students at the dorms sign in after a certain time and arrive at their rooms safely. It's been a super rewarding job, and I've enjoyed every minute of it. Except around three months ago, I was moved to a different dorm due to my previous manager retiring. My new manager, let's call him G, started out alright. He was polite and seemed enthusiastic about my starting there. But this attitude quickly devolved to the complete opposite. He lives on campus, and his room just so happens to be directly across from me. He started urinating with his door open, which I tried to just ignore at first, but the offence list quickly grew. He then got more comfortable leaving his door open…
I left my LinkedIn profile dead since my last project so my so-to-be ex doesn't keep chasing me or defame me. Now my current employer is insisting that i update it. Anything i can do to keep it private so only th3 employer see the update and not open to anyone else? Thanks
