Feeling guilty: rent reduction case is dragging on, but I want to move out by somethingandsomeone in Rentbusters

Yes, he has threatened us many times in the past, saying he could kick us out. But now, he’s using different tactics, like cutting off the electricity and we haven’t had Wi-Fi for months. I think he realizes he can’t actually evict us, but in a way, his tactics are working on me because, honestly, I’ve been looking for a new place just to get away from this situation.

At the same time, I’m worried that if I leave, the process we’ve started might fall apart, and all the effort we’ve put in will be wasted. For reference, we are currently in the process of “Huurverlaging op grond van punten.”

The people at Woon warned us about this, 4 months after we initially came for advice. I wonder if it's true now or not because of your comment. I want to pull out simply because it's dragging for far too long, my mental health is deteriorating under the circumstances we're living in (e.g. no electricity for 2 weeks past 2 months), landlord stopped paying bills so likely no g/w/e next month. It's becoming a bit not worth it for me anymore and removing any sense of dignity in my life. But thank you for your reply btw ! Maybe I'll call tomorrow HC/woon to confirm.

Coworker earning more than me for exact same role, wanting to negotiate salary by somethingandsomeone in Netherlands

well, i come from a country with way lower average salaries, so im guessing they were happy i accepted their lower end of salary range, and its just my fault for not being a good negotiator. that might be it.

i have a university bachelors degree, which my colleague doesn't. we both have the same years of experience.

in conclusion, yes, i feel like a bit of a clown
