I hate being beholden to these stupid corporations but of course, that’s by design. Part of me feels ungrateful that despite the fact that my nervous system is a wreck by the day - I’m making what I need to support my family. But I have the “where else will I find this salary”-anxiety and it’s becoming deeply unhealthy, my fixation/fear over it all going away, or me “ruining it” if I end up saying the wrong thing or putting my foot down. I also hate the fact that I can feel Elon’s idiotic workplace culture trickling down into private companies, already. I feel like I’m going to explode. The concept of golden handcuffs is so real but I’ve been there done that with the raging narc boss, and having my livelihood hung over my head. I don’t know how to regulate my emotions in this situation…

Just venting ~
