    For real. My last job essentially let me go because my being depressed meant they weren’t confident I could handle the workload of 2.5 people. Of course, they made that out to be my fault. Thanks guys, I’m worse now.

      You sound really selfish, did you stop to think about your CEO and their vacation home before you decided to get dEPrESSed?

      I was worried about this same exact thing happening, so I buckled down, pulled as hard as I could on my boot straps, did the work of 4 people for a few months, then quit without notice. I was the only person left on my team at the time so I’m sure they’re scrambling lol.

      I’m really sorry, dude. I really wish corporations weren’t so soulless. :(

      And we conquer that fear daily.

      Many could be tempted to attribute that to our bravery, our grit, our resolve.

      They’d be overlooking the simple explanation that some of us fear hunger and cold slightly more than we do the grueling and backbreaking 9-to-howlongisitreallyfuckineedtosleep hours.

      That’s the reality for humans through out history. Problem now is that industrialized agriculture created billions of us, and then capitalism seized control and destroyed communities in order to exploit us.
