Parents Always Say, “Well Every Job Sucks,” And Defend My Employers

I don’t know if this is a generational thing, but more often than not, my parents will defend my employers. It doesn’t matter if I’m on the verge of a heart attack, working Thanksgiving, or struggling to function. Is this a product of my mom and dad’s generation? When they stayed at an office for 25 years, and never questioned that hey, maybe the CEO didn’t have their best interests at heart? My mom’s reaction was the cliche “well, every job sucks.” I don’t know what to do anymore because I need this job, but it’s killing me every day. My self-care is the in the garbage.
