    Fuck me, I wish I still had the capacity to put in 16-20 hour days, just for a year, hell, half a year. I’d have all my debt paid off that my ex got into.

    Instead I’ve been working 10 hour weeks. It’s been helping me recover, but no progress on getting out of debt.

      yeah…unfortunately I got paid the same regardless. I did directly benefit from a bonus schedule though, and made the highest bonuses in company history (other than the CEO).

      then they took away bonuses. then failed to deliver on raises. then took away vacation time. then took away healthcare coverage for a cheaper carrier. then they made AI usage a performance indicator.

      so yeah. they made the entire work environment toxic.

      frankly the only thing keeping me around is the 2-3 hour workload.

      god bless private equity investment!

        I’m a contractor these days. If I bill 250 hours a month, I get paid for 250 hours. Likewise, if I bill 50 hours a month, I get paid for 50 and that’s what I’ve been doing lately. Used to do more.
