I'm of the opinion the closest people see of the real you is in the work place. Family care too much and provide excuses. And bless them for it.
Nothing screams you until you are neck deep in shit and still slinging. You trap an animal in a corner and watch it do anything to get away.
I'm sorry you had ten years of that. I had eleven myself. Different vocations same crap. You care they exploit you. Its never enough but you should be grateful......
A year ago I got out of the most toxic workplace I couldn't even imagine until I stepped out of it. In 11 years I never once heard my boss apologise or admit fault for anything. I pity him.
Snitching requires examples of mistrust, illegal practices, etc. You explained exactly what type of person you worked for. Apparently honesty over a person's lack of morality, ethics and dignity is hard for people to stomach. They should consider how people would frame themselves in such circumstances.
I hope you are doing better. Festive greetings and have a great new year!
When they fired me, after giving me an ultimatum regarding this very substack, I was on the fence about signing an NDA to get my severance. Thank goodness they called me a liar (in regards to a negative Glassdoor review that I did not write), refused to extend the severance which subsequently let me talk about it, as I have....endlessly. One of the best things that ever happened to my head, after 10 years of some of the worst of my life, knock on wood, EVER.
