    I’m disabled and haven’t been able to work in 14 years, and just the thought of dealing with the non-stop stupid petty bullshit all day every day sounds fucking exhausting. The gossip, the office politics, the way companies treat their employees nowadays with the pervasive spying and obsessive time-management… shit, people, either trust me to do my job or fire me. So glad I don’t have to deal with that anymore.

      Not every company is like that, but it is distressingly rare. To the degree that I’m willingly accepting 20k less than I would be making elsewhere to avoid the bullshit. I am so fucked if I ever need to move or if my boss retires.

        Same. I earn decent money but can probably get way more elsewhere, yet I’m sticking around because I’m in a pretty good spot with my work-life balance and my manager is great. I hope he sticks around as long as I’m employed there.

        Yeah, and they seem to be getting rarer all the time, I see articles about the batshit stuff employers are doing. Hope the spot you’re in holds out tho.
