Stop Right Now And Read My Blog

Salutations and good morning (those in EST)!

I am currently sitting in my pool chair, unemployed, and writing in this blog while a squirrel — which possibly just gave birth — chows down on the food I just left on my birdfeeder. Am I allowed to say life is good?

Today is my official last day at Wells Fargo and honestly, it feels like breathing for the first time in two years. Talk about going under, Evanescence. And now the pigeon came, yay! Oof, but the squirrel said “No bish!”. Mean squirrel.. But ya, as Salt Shaker plays in my headphones, I realize bullies really do exist everywhere with my toxic manager winnin MVP without even trying. And I mean Most Villanous Player, not the actual MVP award she got, which she really believed she deserved. P.S. If your toxic manager is getting awards you’re in the wrong job. There’s the pigeon again hoping to get crumbs; I hope this squirrel left something. Someone tried logging into my Instagram, lol? And why should anyone, even a pigeon, have to deal with that?

Nah, as I’ve said before, why should anyone put up with abuse even if it is from your boss? from a co-worker? from work?

So yes, today, is my last day of work and abuse and I am celebrating that. Here. Independently. Free.

Because as much of a riot as it was to be under the thumb of some corporate douche bag, I’d rather be happily unemployed. I rather use my resources and find a cleaner environment where I can come in, do my job, and go home — as hard of an ask as that might be, apparently. Because I don’t intend to stay there. Because my dreams don’t end where someone else’s begins. The beginning might be the end is the beginning, Billy Corgan, but I rather have agency over who I am. And I’m tired of waiting to land another opportunity before I’m free as if I’m negotiating my own hostage situation.

Because no. You will not continue to hold my need for a job over my head. With no respect: Fuck. You.

I rather leave this toxic situationship as I’ve done in the past (insert shameless plug here: https://a.co/d/0j4OxNCL).

Because I know I deserve better and CAN find better. And I will.

And so can you.

Radically accept your power.

Let’s do it together.
