Anything that’s written primarily for commercial purposes?

(I don’t know much about Jungian philosophy)

Presumably it is not very agile though, so you could just climb over it?

Have you read UNSONG? I’d guess so, with that name, but if not, you should. I think you’d like it.

What? They let him get away with all kinds of shit and barely raise a peep. Why would they do this?

Lucky you can’t, I guess?

Are you a palaeoclimatologist who is struggling to convince someone of something?

For sure. Quitting is not an option for many… Job security is hard to come by in a lot of places. I don’t think you need to state reasons for it not doing it, it’s enough to know you’ve considered it and it doesn’t seem viable to you.

There’s a journaling format that I really rate call “jackal journalling”, invented by Kate Raffin, and based on NVC. It’s basically what you say - brain dump of abusive/judgemental thoughts, but with an added layer of going back and analysing the feelings associated with each thought, and trying to identify the unmet needs they express. It can be really helpful for turning a head full of anger/despair/whatever bad thoughts into a useful assessment, and it can help give direction as to what to do next too.

That sounds fucked, dude. Best of luck with your complaint.

TBH now that you say this, it sounds like might be in a similar situation to me at my last job, which I persevered with for 3 years of riding burn-out (because the work was almost ideal for me, and the people were mostly amazing), and then quit.

There’s already lots of other good suggestions here, but one point that might be worth noting: I think there are two different purposes types of therapy: psychological help (e.g. understanding your own brain, and figuring out ways to change it), and counselling (listening to your problems, and probably offering some professional guidance).

It sounds to me that given the circumstances you describe above, counselling is probably more immediately valuable - what you really need to do is to get some clear external perspective on your situation, from someone with whom you can share details privately. A good counsellor should be able to help you find multiple paths out of your predicament (you might also benefit from seeing multiple different counsellors, since they will all provide different perspectives). In my experience this really helps to ground your understanding, and helps answer the “Is it me, or them, or something else that’s the problem?” question.

IF that process provides more indication that your angry outburst are because of what’s going on in your head, and not just a fairly justified response to a shit situation, THEN maybe it’s a good indication that you should look in to psychology or anger management approaches, or similar. If your angry outburst have existed prior to this work situation, then perhaps you could skip the counselling step, but it still might be worth it.

At my last job I was having angry reactive outbursts (which I had had in the past, but to a much lesser degree, and they were now spilling over onto family and friends), and getting anxiety (which had never happened before). I saw a few psychs and counsellors, and the last one I saw while at work said something like “If you anxiety is about a real work problem, and not an imagined/exaggerated/catastrophised problem, then it’s not anxiety, it’s stress”. That really tripped a switch in my mind, and made the decision to quit super clear. Immediately after handing in my resignation my anxiety levels dropped off a cliff, and my anger slowly dropped back to tolerable levels over the following months.

How much of the situation is within your control?

Perhaps you can’t change the supervisor. You can still leave.

Or perhaps you can change the supervisor (e.g. talk to someone else in the org and get help).

Or perhaps the way you’re reacting is part of the problem, and that is amplifying the problem, and perhaps you can change something about how you’re acting, to reduce the problem.

There are always multiple ways to change a situation, but you have to actively seek them out yourself. People on the internet might give you useful ideas (there are lots in this thread), but they don’t have the full context, so they can’t give you off-the-shelf answers.

Gross

The same thing should apply to private property, especially in cities.

Pretty sure it was so publishers (printing press owners) could have a guaranteed profit. Those two things (publisher and artist profits) were correlated at the time. Not so much anymore. Streaming/subscription mentality is like planned obsolescence for IP.

They should get rid of the windows too.

I don’t think defunding the police is a right-wing framing 😆

Heh, I posted a basically identical timeline in reply to another comment above.

I’ve been using it full time for 21 years, and dual boot for years before that. Early on it definitely took up a bit of time, but that’s mostly because I was interested in breaking things and learning to fix them. Even 10-15 years ago I don’t think I would have spent more than a few hours a month fixing things. These days it’s a few hours a year, and that’s only when I start messing around with something in a careless way.

Is there a reason why this same logic doesn’t apply to politicians?
