So they are really into the whole “not a business, we’re family” type shit. My boss called me a few times like an hr after work to see what I learned today. I learned that you’re a fuckin asshole w no boundaries dude. Get this, today for morning meeting, he tells us about how “actually, people in poverty are much more similar to wealthy people. And poor and rich people are similar because they’re complacent.” We’re supposed to write down notes smh. Halfway through his dumbass speech, I just started writing up a critique of everything he said. Like sure, inheritance and intergenerational wealth play NO role at all dude, just grind more. What metaphysical bullshit. Tbh if they keep pushing this class collaboration, idealistic view of the world just to act like we need to work harder, I’m gonna look for a new job.

    Sounds like they’re trying to weed out anyone willing to stand up for themselves. Just from this alone, I can tell that when they say “Like a family” what they mean is “I’m going to treat you like an abusive parent would and refuse to respect your autonomy or personhood, and threaten you when I don’t get my way.”

    This is probably a good time to look for a new job. A boss who demands all of your time outside of work will only demand more and more of it, and exhaust you more and more, making looking for new work even harder.

    Plus when you get a new job, imagine how satisfying it would be when you put in your resignation notice to say that you’re quitting solely because of how incompetent and intrusive your boss is.
