I had a job that I actually enjoyed once. The work itself was more or less the same every day, but it had varying challenges and locations and I didn't have 15 fucking managers breathing down my neck all the time. I could have stayed there forever. Except they fired me when I didn't volunteer to work a Saturday because I had a fucking doctor's appointment and that was the only day I had off where I could see a doctor, they swore at me that I have to show up and scheduled me that day anyway, and I swore back at them because I absolutely do not tolerate authoritarian bullshit like that. They backed off and said "okay fine, we'll get someone else. No worries." But then on Monday, the Salesforce schedule had me going to the main office (2 and half hours away) for a meeting; the meeting was to fire me.

Fucking owners turned out to be MAGA bitches, too so I have no qualms over naming and shaming UnWired Broadband for being a shifty bullshit WISP service that sets prices based on skin color. (White people always had lower bills and higher speeds than mexicans and black folks)

    I'm sorry you live in the USA. That would not be possible in many parts of the world to begin with.

    (apologies and no hate, this is the best way I can put it)

    There's so much to unpack here. Did you work for a company run by a supervillain? And yet enjoyed the work?
