Does anyone else work in an environment where you’re basically forced to perform happiness while the ship is sinking? Our department started these mandatory fun meetings where we have to share a personal win and a work win every single morning. If you don't sound enthusiastic enough, our VP pulls you aside to talk about your negative energy and how it affects the team. It’s so fake and cult-like, especially since we’re all incredibly overworked and understaffed.

I think that's basically every customer-facing role ever. I don't know what I would do without my fake customer service persona handling business, because the real me can not handle having to smile through being yelled at every day.

You basically just described my last several companies. Things were always a dumpster fire, and we just carried on like they weren't. The morale is in the toilet, but hey, the work is getting done.

It seems now it’s let the ship sink as long as they shareholders get their money

All the time! Just always asked to put a brave and smily face on

My partner and I bought our home back in 2020. We got a good deal, low rate. But we want to move into a more spacious SFH. However, as we all know this market is crazy. Everything we want costs $620k+ and bc of rates it makes our mortgage estimates $3500+. We are currently paying $2k. And it looks we need to sell the house simultaneously as look for a new one or our contingency isn’t as attractive. I know it’s based on personal circumstances. But what would you do? - not move, sell and buy?
