3 years ago, during this exact time, i quit my job. i worked for a company that had the worst environment possible. it was a place that truly did not value people i was exploited… making way below minum wage, they paid me $500 a week, 9 hour days, no lunch break, no lunch with coworkers, working weekends with no overtime pay… i remember they would send me on work trips, and i had to pay for everything. i would get 1 day of vacation per month worked, with MAX 3 sick days a year…
on top of that, they would constantly criticize my physic, bully me, ask me why i even applied for the job if i couldnt properly "write", that how was it possible that i considered myself a "spanish speaking person" if i write it without mistakes...
i would go as far to say i was abused mentally. they were extremely old school, i dont want to sound like a cry baby, but i was geniunely exploited. emotionally.
but why did i stay? i was young. i thought i needed to learn life the hard way. i wanted to be “successful”, i thought suffering was part of becoming somebody…
its not.
some people are just plain mean, rude and bitter. And no job, no "opportunity," no paycheck is worth your health, your mental sanity, your time.
well, why am i venting now? because that place closed its doors this week. the same week i left 3 yearws ago. the timing is ironic, but honestly? it’s immaculate.
that place was a representation of the system that was put in place to keep us depressed, stressed, tired… anxious..
that place did teach me to stand up for myself, i wish younger me had learned that in a different environment, but it is what it is.
glad that hell hole is closed. so to anyone staying somewhere that's breaking you, you don't have to earn your worth by suffering. just LEAVE. Trust yourself. Build something better.
I did. And I'd do it again.
enjoy a random day of what the environment was like. and the video of me cleaning out things and leaving it behind. a picture of one of my colleagues who got hives from how anxious she got one day from the way they spoke to her.
