WIBTA for taking advantage of my boss’ possible manic episode?

I know this already sounds bad but hear me out.

So I (30M) am the sole employee of this guy (62M) who’s honestly just a miserable boss and an even more miserable person. It sucks so bad working for him—the pay is horrendous, he’s verbally abusive, and the working conditions are awful (in the winter I literally have to stay bundled up the whole work day because he refuses to put the heat on in the office). He wouldn’t even give me holidays off if it wasn’t for the fact that there’s basically nothing to do those days because everywhere else is closed. I’m almost positive he unironically thinks poor people should die if they can’t work. His nephew (aka his only living relative and just the nicest guy) came by yesterday to invite him to Christmas dinner and he told him he’d see him in hell.

I cannot stress this enough—it’s BAD. I’d quit, but it’s been hard finding a better job and I’ve got four kids at home, including one with special needs.

Anyway, so here’s where I’m wondering if I’d be the asshole. Today was Christmas Day and he showed up at my house out of nowhere (huge red flag, I know). At first I thought he’d forgotten I had the day off and he was here to chew me out, which was worrying enough, but then his whole demeanor changed and he was super happy and excited and talking about how he was going to raise my salary. He even mentioned possibly making me a partner in the firm.

Now if that was it, I’d feel a little weird about the suddenness of it but it’d be fine. I’m not going to complain about having more money to feed my family. But then he started talking about how he wanted to pay our mortgage off. He talked about wanting to pay for our son to get the very expensive medical care that’s probably going to save his life. He mentioned at one point that he was going to be donating a huge amount of money to charity too—I knew he was rich but it staggered me. All this from a guy who doesn’t (didn’t?) even want to turn on the heat or the lights because it costs too much money.

It was such a sudden and drastic change that happened very literally overnight and now I’m kind of concerned he’s having a manic episode or something. I really, really want to accept his sudden generosity (I probably will; my wife is all for it and thinks he owes it to us), and I would love to believe that he’s truly had a sudden change of heart (an actual Christmas miracle lol) but I’m just worried about the possible consequences of accepting huge financial gifts like this from someone who I believe might be experiencing some kind of break from reality. Even if there’s nothing legally wrong with it, I’m worried about the ethics of it.

TLDR, my asshole boss might be in the middle of a mental breakdown. WIBTA if I accepted his offer to pay off my mortgage and my son’s medical expenses?

Update: I got the courage up to ask him about his sudden change of heart while my special needs child was napping in his lap (what), and he told me he was visited by three ghosts. So. Definitely not well. Still not sure I won't take the money.

ok im still thinking about the ybc musical

i absolutely love how they changed the motivation of the vixens. in the original youngblood chronicles music videos the vixens didn't seem to have a clear goal besides "destroy music"; the fact that it was music videos with no dialogue doesn't help that vagueness

in the ybc musical, though, they specifically said that the vixens not just wanted to destroy music: they wanted to take music back to a time when it was all "sex drugs and rock and roll", they wanted music to glorify pain and suffering, they don't want music that heals to get out there. in the musical, instead of an apocalypse-demon, the briefcase holds the finished mp3 files of the album save rock and roll. the vixens want the briefcase because they don't want it to be released to the public.

the musical also implies that fob are not the first victim of the vixens: the vixen on the inside who gives pete and andy the bass machete and snare drum crossbow (the musical calls her tiffany) tells pete and andy that she used to be in a band too, she's the only surviving member.

just. the thesis statement of "they want to make money off your trauma, they want everyone to be miserable, they want you to be in the worst time of your life for the benefit of others, music that heals has no place in their new world order, so we need to be the change."

well have you considered that maybe the unstoppable force is in love with the immovable object

[divorce-enjoyer]

maybe the reason one refuses to stop and the other refuses to move is because they both long for the collision

hey y'all! i'm interning at an indie production company in LA, and for my final intern project i'm putting together a presentation on well-known/internet famous content, especially stuff beloved by gen z. wondering if anyone knows of any niche but beloved content that can be found on the internet that might deserve broader recognition. feel free to rb this post if you know of other people who might know of something!

Bisan's recent post. I think it's important for you to read it. Tonight 03.12.23, journalists in gaza share their last messages. There are no words to describe the horrors unfolding in gaza right now.

I no longer have any hope of survival like I had at the beginning of this genocide, and I am certain that I will die in the next few weeks or maybe days. I have been sick with severe viral infection for days and cannot move from the mattress!

I suffer from nightmares that are so closely resemble reality that I no longer differentiate between reality and dream.

I live in a world other than the one I claimed to be building! I am a community activist who lived on the fantasy that the world was free and just, and I sought to bring rights not only to my people, but to many men and women in third world countries!

I was shocked that I was not from the third world! Indeed, we are the most humane and moral! Yes, because the world approves, supports, and finances the genocide we are being subjected to, legislates it, and gives reasons for for 58 days! While we are a people who have been living on occupied land for 75 years and are still searching for our rights and communicating our voice to the world!

My message to the world: You are not innocent of what is happening to us, you as governments or peoples that support Israel’s annihilation of my people. We will not forgive you, we will not forgive you, humanity will not forgive you, we will not forget, even if we die, the history will never forget .

A Message to friends: Thank you and the supporters around the world. You have been compassionate and very strong. We ask you not to lose hope, even if the world seems completely unfair and your efforts have not yet resulted in a ceasefire.

shape of you by ed sheeran is so funny to me because people hate it so much. which is fine. it is very generic and overall meh. but to justify hating it, people had to find something "problematic" to take issue with. and so for years i would see people dunking on shape of you acting like it was a uniquely anti-feminist song or something... because in it ed sheeran was objectifying women by saying they were hot. and can we just acknowledge that that is many songs? like a good percentage of songs are about women being hot. but for some reason we chose to specifically target ed about it. weird choice imo he's literally just ed sheeran
