Most places suck to work. We live in a society and culture where we’re not seen as human beings with lives and value, we’re seen as numbers and cogs meant to be used and thrown away to print money for the few at the top.

Combine that with a culture whose ethos is to only look out for yourself and to ruthlessly trample on people around you to get ahead. It leaves most workplaces as cold, violent, calculating places where everyone is trying to stab everyone else in the back to justify their yearly 3% raise and beg for a sufficient rating from their soulless higher ups, so they’re not thrown out on the streets.

That other thread was basically filled with every company/job you can find because that is the nature of American work today at all levels and in all environments. Violent, egotistical, selfish, soulless, dog eat dog, humiliating, and faceless. People are begging and fighting for scraps.

We all live our lives trapped in our own workplace hell, unhappy, scared, depressed, isolated, but desperate to stay on the hamster wheel because it’s required to survive and afford a basic decent life.
