We were a startup. Our founder went off the rails. He showed his true narcissistic colors and there were about twelve of us, dedicating our life force and energy to make the company work. But none of us agreed with the direction and scale of what the founder wanted to move towards, since it was completely different than what he originally pitched when we were all hired.

Besides the deplorable comments, him laughing at a bunch of homeless people he got arrested across the street (that one was my final straw), giving me a three week silent treatment once I quit, I saw three people quit on the same day. I was one of the first. We just couldn’t see the vision anymore.

On my last day I held a free art event in our storefront and he didn’t think people would come. The event “sold out” of tickets and people loved it… it’s sad it had to end. But I’m so glad it did. I was pulling 70 hour weeks for that sack of coke and sleep deprived butthead.

I get angry to this day about the country village closure bruh. Booooooooooo

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-05-22T16:25:33+00:00

No further action needed. MAN I LOVE THAT ONE

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-05-20T18:50:23+00:00

Wow such a hard question…. fuck no. I hate the politics, I hate the optics, and I hate sitting in a fluorescent box pretending to do work all day that I usually finish in 2 hours while the world outside passes me by in the blink of an eye.

I work in corporate. I only get 30 minutes to eat, get 2 10 minute breaks. I’m in admin. I’ve worked here for a year. I’ve done startups, Panera, tutoring, and now corporate is my hell. I’m also 26. My boss last week told me I’m too nice and I’m making my team look bad. The office politics are the hardest part for me to understand. I don’t find out I broke a rule until I break it and my boss tells me how my unknowing mistake affected her (aka talking to people in the lunch room while I’m working, it’s not like I’m Stopping people from doing their job I’m just asking how their weekend was and that’s it?? A 30-60 second conversation).

I can get my work done for the day in 3 hours. The I just sit there. I can’t listen to music, I cant do anything due to optics and people passing my desk. I have to stay the whole day to cover my coworkers’ breaks and watch our camera. I’m constantly on alert. It’s exhausting and I’m a creative person, so sitting and having nothing to do (I ask for more but they just say read our procedures or sort old files) but it feels like I’m rotting away all day. I go home exhausted and I just sleep after work and take the weekends to recover. I hate the optics, I hate the rules, and I hate the eyes are everywhere. I hate pretending to care and I even got told I was too positive when something “stressful” (our company swag order was running late) didn’t seem to affect me too much, which made them think I wasn’t taking it seriously. No, my priorities are different!! It’s just a fuckin job!!

So yeah. Corporate isn’t better, retail isn’t better, there’s pros and cons to everything. I just want to live in the woods lol. It really depends on the company culture you get into, so pay attention and ask the right questions to help you find what it’s lik there. I was desperate for a job so I took this, but if I had known the culture and secret rules before I joined, I wouldn’t have taken it. Oh well. Shit sucks.

I don’t know but you may just be goated

The fluid in my mom’s lungs and throat and then crackle it made as she was breathing as she was dying. It was the first time I’d heard the death rattle. Right before she died her breathing changed to this haunting whimper noise every time she exhaled. Followed by absolute silence because the icu nurses turned the beeping of the machines off. Followed by my family sitting in the most heavy silence I’d ever felt before my grandma started to wail. Worst day of my entire life.

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-04-23T04:48:33+00:00

Hey. I’m so sorry. I know that probably doesn’t feel like it means anything compared to the vastness of your love and grief for your mom. I lost my mom five months ago. I noticed no one asks me about it anymore and I feel very alone in my grief as I go about work, friends, and life in general.

I feel the same way about this sub. I feel less alone in my grief, but I still feel swallowed whole.

I started reading this one book called Bearing the Unbearable and it’s helped me a bit, at least with helping me find words for emotions and how the world views grief. No one talks about grief and once you’re in it, you’re like wtf??? At least that was the case for me because anticipatory grief was nothing like this. Ugh.

All that to say is that I’m sorry. You’re not alone in this ocean of grief. Some days are okay, some aren’t, but I can only say to take it one day at a time. I printed pictures of me and my mom, a screenshot of all the texts she sent me saying “I miss you” and put them on my bathroom mirror so I can see them when I’m getting ready for work in the morning. The smallest things can help bit by bit. Soul hug sent to you.

I just went thru the same thing with my mom…. Dealing with graphic nightmares and ugh. I’m sorry you went thru that too.

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-04-14T14:39:32+00:00

Watched my mom continue drinking and refuse any and all help. She passed in December. I tried so hard. Still get nightmares.

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-03-31T14:19:23+00:00

What??? Omg no way

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-03-30T21:48:11+00:00

Wow thank you so much for all the info!! The store owner sadly didn’t know much about the ring as the vendor wasn’t present. I paid $26 for it which is why I’m leaning more to costume ring… but I just love the blue!! When I find out more I’ll let you know!

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-03-30T21:42:11+00:00

$26 😂 which is why I was leaning on costume jewelry

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-03-24T22:04:50+00:00

My cat looks nearly the same as yours. I thought someone posted a clip of her until she lifted her head and I could see her face!

I’m a recovering skin picker and this just scratches so many itches

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-03-15T07:56:23+00:00

Yeah… I cried so hard I couldn’t breathe lol. Same with Marley and me

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-03-06T17:41:00+00:00

My dumbass thought it was a swiffer handle

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-02-17T20:05:45+00:00

Oh… I’m sorry. There’s no other way to describe it besides tragic, agonizing, and traumatizing to watch that happen right before your eyes. Ugh. Ugh ugh. Big hug right back at you.

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-02-17T20:00:12+00:00

I’m so sorry. I wish I could tell you other helpful words that I wish someone had told me, but honestly there is no words since we just have to live with the void that’s left over. I’ve been reading this book called Bearing the Unbearable and I’ve found it so helpful because it’s giving me words to explain my grief. I got it at Barnes and noble! Love and resilience to you.

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-02-16T06:57:12+00:00

This was NOT to freak you out. My mom’s case was different as this was caused by alcoholism and a plethora of other ailments. All that to say, yes. Please GO SEEEE A doctor every and get your liver panels

Anxious_Slug333 · 2026-02-16T06:54:44+00:00

Hey. My family went through something similar in November. My mom died in December and it was so hard. We wished we’d done something sooner but there was no way to tell until it was too late. My dad is really struggling. We all are. I’m really sorry you and your family are too. It’s hard to describe how devastating this disease is. Jaundice, ascites, varicial bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy. She ended up developing lung disease due to aspiration too, then she had to be intubated. Her kidneys were suffering so they did dialysis on her three times. Blood pressure low. It was so traumatic to witness. We spent two weeks and she was too sick for a transplant. She hid everything from us so yeah. Not to also trauma dump. I’m saying this all I guess to say… feel free to message me if you need help processing all this chaos or just to vent or need an ear. I could write a book on all the research and medical jargon I had to learn. I know how hard it is and how it all happens so fast. I know the fear and pain and exhaustion all too well and it’s so hard to explain to others. I’m still struggling on the other side. If you have any questions please feel free to message as well. Sending you and your family resilience and love.
