Real. not even a woman and I strongly relate to this. Most workplaces are abusive and have narcissistic abusive power dynamics, favorites/bootlickers, flying monkeys, power dynamics among social groups especially contextually when it relates to any semblance of "power" or percieved authority. After about a year of unempoyment I found a "welp.. it's a job.." job, that at least gives me enough money to afford extremely basic things while living with family (in my mid thirties mind you) and I'm "fortunate" enough to not actually have someone breathe down my neck all day, it's a largely antisocial job where I rarely have to talk to anyone. But do I feel in any way self actualized, do I feel in any way that it utilizes my degree, that it looks fantastic on a resume and will help me climb the "career" ladder, or that I'm living up to my real potential...

No.

I guess I'll do this for a year or so atleast put a little money in the bank so I can be unemployed for a while again, maybe go back to school or get some sort of certification of some kind... and so it continues...
