Authority figures are made of one mold

I’m told somewhere out there are supportive employers, I’ve never met one.

The strongest suspect I have is the non profit that provides my therapy and medications, the people working there seem happy, they seem to have lives outside of work. However because I get services there, I can’t work there, and given the state of health in this state that isn’t going to change.

I made the choice awhile ago, if someone wants to subject me to awful conditions if I won’t work an awful job, I’ll take the awful conditions because those usually have natural limits. It’s a strangely liberating feeling being more prepared to for homelessness than going to work for an abusive boss. Somehow those “threats” never end up as bad as they claim. I still have a home, food, and pretty decent life…..

I’d love to go back to work, if there is such a thing as a supportive and useful employer. Most employers I’ve met are there to micromanage, to bully, and to make the job entirely dominate every waking moment of your existence. No one pays enough for that, we’re talking 90 hours a week of liability at my rate that should command six figures, instead of being barely enough to live on.
