I love how any time someone says something positive about themselves on FB they're immediately shamed for their "humblebrag." Just because your life is shit doesn't mean everyone else's should be.

Actually, my life is pretty good. You just wouldn't know it because I don't come on here to humblebrag.

Have to agree with you OP. Unless we're complaining about how awful the world is, people will try to shame. Success is hardly celebrated anymore

Nobody cares if you share your successes or outright brag here. It's false modesty that folks find annoying.

Next time, just post whatever you're happy about, and we'll celebrate with you.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
