you guys made luigi mangione trend for days and I need to see the same energy for brianna boston. she is a 43 year old mother of three who ended a phone call with blue cross blue shield (after being denied a claim) “delay deny depose, you people are next” and is now being held under a 100,000$ bond and could face FIFTEEN years of prison if charged. she has no weapons, her record is clean, and yet she is being held behind bars. they are afraid of the public and are trying to subdue. do not let them!!!! be outraged that our freedom of speech is being threatened!!!!! deny defend depose! free brianna boston!

Good for this person. This is exactly what you do. Screw the job.

I had a job that made me work an all nighter, 30 hours straight, over Thanksgiving. I resigned that Monday and it was one of the most satisfying decisions I’ve ever made.

Part 3:

Please pay attention to all the manipulation tactics this boss uses, because they’re pulling out every trick in the book.

“I’m not your boss, I’m your friend”

“Other people will be hurt by this and it’s your fault and I’m going to tell them all that”

Mocking language

Jobs are important too

“Be a team player”

“We’re your family too”

Talking as if this is a thing you must do

“We all make sacrifices”

Undermining your authority

“You caused all of this, really”

Accusing you of being “unprofessional”

“Look at the money you cost us”

“Just laugh it off and come back to work”

This is like a 101 course in how employers use guilt trips to coerce you into putting up with their bullshit. This is precisely why you should never trust those employers who insist that they’re “like a family.” They are not. It’s just a ruse so that your boss can neg you into putting your job ahead of your actual life.

Ok this is satisfying and all but he lost me when she *doubled* his rate for *no reason.*

What possible motivation would the business manager have for that.

This is a fable.

[elidyce]

@vocifersaurus  … the business manager’s motivation is pretty clear, in my reading. From her POV, it went thusly:

This company entered into a contract with us. 

This company royally fucked up.

This company tried to force their one qualified employee to sacrifice his PTO to fix their screw-up.

The one qualified employee quit.

They didn’t suck it up and take him back, but let the situation get WAY WORSE.

This has negatively affected MY company quite significantly.

They then tried to throw the employee under the bus for the whole mess.

The employee is still willing to do the work, getting my company out of trouble, but wants to get fucking paid what he’s worth, which is not unreasonable. 

I now have a loophole by which I can get my company out of trouble while shafting the other company VERY COMPREHENSIVELY.

I am at this point going to double the price PURELY TO PUNISH THEM.

Fuck those guys.

I’d have done the exact same thing, given the opportunity. 

Because fuck those guys.

You are starting to be happier than you have ever been before. Don’t give up on the person you are becoming.

The best is yet to come for you!

My break-up has been weighing heavily on my mind as of late.

On one hand I find that I'm missing him an insane amount. Im nearly constantly thinking about how he is and about the ways me cutting him off from my life may have hurt him. I think about our time together over the years and really only focus on the good. It's a difficult place to be, deciding that despite loving someone but being together is too painful.

But the second hand in this is that while yearning for him in all the various ways I do, I find myself unconsciously slipping on rose-colored glasses that prevent me from seeing, with clarity, all the ways in which I was being hurt and disrespected.

Someone recently told me that love shouldn't be difficult, and that conflicts between people in love should be resolved through clear communication, patience, and the understanding that shared love sits above everything else.

When I do the work to take off the rose colored glasses, I understand that I was not being afforded that same communication in the relationship. I see the ways in which I was being disrespected, and I think about all of the times that instead of care and love, I was given the sharp end of the stick and told that it was my fault when I'd tried to decide I had enough.

I still have a hard time reconciling these feelings. Being together with someone for 4 years creates an undeniable bond. Through that bond, we had some of the best times of my life. But even then, the joyous moments dont cancel out the ways I was being mistreated.

I don't know, honestly, how to feel. I don't yet know how to reconcile these feelings. But most of all, I don't know how to operate alone yet. And maybe that's why my heart both calls for me to reach out, but also to keep my head down and move forward - anyway I can.

Love doesn't just disappear because the relationship ends. Guilt and disappointment don't just evaporate because one cuts contact. And in these moments I have to just choose to believe in my self and my heart, through the pain and doubt, and to acknowledge that while I still love him, what we had was not sustainable and was actively hurting both of us.
