I’m disabled and haven’t been able to work in 14 years, and just the thought of dealing with the non-stop stupid petty bullshit all day every day sounds fucking exhausting. The gossip, the office politics, the way companies treat their employees nowadays with the pervasive spying and obsessive time-management… shit, people, either trust me to do my job or fire me.

Not every company is like that, but it is distressingly rare. To the degree that I’m willingly accepting 20k less than I would be making elsewhere to avoid the bullshit. I am so fucked if I ever need to move or if my boss retires.
