I’ve been at my current company for five years, and in that time, I’ve seen four different reorganizations that all resulted in more work for less pay. Every time a new CEO comes in, they promise to fix the culture, but they just end up making things more corporate and cold. It’s like we’re all just numbers on a spreadsheet instead of people with lives and families. I’m starting to think that stable jobs are a myth and that every company is just a different flavor of toxic. Is it possible to find a workplace that actually cares, or should I just lower my expectations?

There used to be a lot of good companies, once upon a time. Even the companies that have a proven track record of success are becoming less concerned with culture and value of recognizing their work force as the source of their success and longevity. As I look for opportunities, I hope for the best but am resigned to the fact that great companies are very rare and you're extremely lucky to be at one these days.

I don’t think it’s realistic to find a company the cares unless they are small, but it is realistic to have a manager that cares and in my opinion that’s more important

Every CEO wants to make their mark, and the mark they want to make is a quick boost to shareholders to make themselves look good. No matter the cost to the employees or the long term sustainability of the company. Reorganisations are basically never a good thing.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭
