3/4 of the people i work have just resigned. for sticking around, they gave me so much nothing, that it needed multiple rounds of meetings to explain how much nothing i am getting: no raise, no promotion, no stock, no cost of living increase. we're not going to send you to that technical conference; it's not in the budget. i am to have a temporary manager and then a new manager, who is filling for a new manager that they are still trying to hire, after having my manager resign, then my manager's manager resign. that a thing i need someone with escalated privileges to accomplish, i've had to find a new person three times in a row because the previous ones resigned. that i am rapidly reaching the point where i cannot psychologically handle it anymore. meanwhile, prices are insane. my rent will go up; only question is how much, and if i can afford it. that i was already weighing my options before this shit with work. it is a band time to sign a lease agreement, like it was last time i was essentially forced to move with the market being Peak Shit. if i am going to move, i really need a car, and, honestly, car prices are Peak Shit as well, and i have been fine being carless but now i may be essentially forced to buy a car. i went to some urgent care place two months back for a thing, that they really did nothing to diagnose, they sucked, and tonight i open up a bill for $500 ["insurance is only covering this part" etc] when they, apparently, balls-out lied to me, and now i have to either decide to just pay it, or fight the bullshit upstream, and maybe still have to pay it. there are some nice things like being really really fit right now, having that lady fawn over me the other night, but overall i'm starting to become concerned i could lose everything again, and if i start to feel like i am not going to beat this... well, i'll try to get my music archives on somewhere how are you. |

if 3/4ths of the people in the job just resigned (and assuming one of them can't get you an in somewhere?) that would probably be a pretty strong case for unemployment benefits, if you could easily show why they all left as a shit working condition. That'd give you time to find something else (at least, I've known a few others who got by on unemployment for a time). |

You should probably emigrate to Scandinavia, |

i'm actually trying to figure it out. it's quite puzzling. with this level of shift, there is no way Those Upstairs did not realize there was going to be a lot of leaving. that, frankly, after they changed the bonus structure, a lot of people left after that without waiting for a raise. one guy suggested, like, maybe they want to fire me, but don't want to pay unemployment? but that jives with another hunch i had, that, like, it's just ambivalence, they don't care if i stay or not, because everyone has left and i've no one in my corner. but then, also quite possible, you go a bit more mean with that and they are going to fire me, but, like, let's just wait until this segment is finished before we do that i feel less, i dunno, existentially doomed today. that, honestly, i woke up, and i was like... this is annoying, i'm tired of thinking about it, i just want to keep working. that i do get like work like i do music, kind of hiding in there for hours. and not only has my manager quit, my manager's manager quit, but the temporary manager, who is actually, like, executive level... yeah, took us a while to figure out today... he's on vacation? and didn't tell any of us on the team? or put it on the calendar? i proposed a betting pool on his resignation but honestly, there is no one here, no one of authority, no one asking me for status updates, that i can't ask anyone about such and such decision because no one left will know... and go figure, i easily put in 11 hours today, got a shitload done. surprising what you can get do without that bullshit |

but i'm still going to look for another job, because i don't understand what. the. fuck. is going on, and given that i cannot rule it out, it's prudent to just assume they'll fire me in a few weeks or something for whatever archaic eldritch bidness going on up dere |

"i feel less, i dunno, existentially doomed today. that, honestly, i woke up, and i was like... this is annoying, i'm tired of thinking about it, i just want to keep working." I think that's the right mindset, more or less. Here's the thing- and this isn't serious life advice or anything like that, I think it's more of a factual statement- Assume you'll weather this storm, and fast forward 5 years. You won't be dealing with this particular crop of shit any more. Very little chance, that you'd have a 5 year consistent problem with work that you were unable to solve/fully escape from. 5 years is a long time. At that point, you'll have an entirely different set of problems, maybe some related like a domino effect, but more likely in that time you'd have found a calm equilibrium in life and THEN developed new problems. This just helps me when I have a bunch of dogshit on my plate. "Am I still gonna be dealing with this in a few months? probably not. Just make the moves i can and get through it now and see what happens" Anyway don't read that as me trying to play therapist or something, it's just a mindset that helps me personally. good luck |
