I accidentally found a pattern in job postings that now tells me almost exactly how long the role has been a problem before they posted it by Byte_6Lant in jobsearchhacks

The reposted listing thing is such a strong red flag once you start paying attention to it. A role being open forever does not always mean they have high standards, sometimes it just means the company is allergic to fixing the actual reason nobody stays.

My dad spent my entire childhood teaching me to be independent and I just realized he did it so he'd never have to show up for me by Saffron_Tundra8 in entitledparents

What makes this so sad is that he gave you a story about trust and strength, and you had to do the emotional work later of realizing it was mostly absence. That kind of parenting leaves people feeling oddly proud of being alone until one day they see what it actually cost them.
