It's like they're trying to imbue you with they're mid-life crisis and try to flex their vague sense of superiority in management roles.
It happened at my old workplace.
Transportation Fees
I currently work for a seasonal job in a ski resort. I live roughly 12KM away one way. When I asked my Operations Manager, he said that Transportation Fee's are only for those who live far away. I find this extremely unfair and was wondering if there is anyone higher up in a general workspace that I should ask for another shot at getting paid to get to and from work. Winter conditions are rough on the gas bills.

I was a freelancer for 5 years years before joining a PR agency. I started pretty low level, and in 2 years climbed to a Director level position. It was a mixture of intense pressure, stress, and changes in my personal life that made me decide I wanted to quit. I put in my notice in September, and was wrapped up with work by end of November. Now, a month later, I feel recovered from burn out and feel regret for leaving. My job was fully remote, had great pay, and I genuinely loved the work. I feel like I made a rash and emotional decision when instead I should have taken proper time off to take care of myself. Anyone else been through this and care to share wisdom on how you moved forward from the regret feelings?
