Supposedly, there is an old Chinese curse, "may you live in interesting times". I have never felt it so hard as I have recently. How is everyone else surviving these "interesting times"?

Oh, that's awesome. I'm going to start using that. I would just say, I'm focusing on what I can control. I can't control the world, I can't control the government, but I can keep my house clean, raise my kids, be good to my neighbors. That's how I'm handling these interesting times.

It’s not a personal curse. It’s the curse created by the governments and wealthy investors from their greed, empowerment, and entitlement. While they all live like royalties with enormous wealth, luxuries, and expensive homes. Meanwhile hard working citizens living like poor peasants always living in lack and chasing after a broken economic system. The politicians and wealthy investors deliberately created this extreme class differences, so the poor working class citizens will always be at the bottom of the food chain as hungry rats 🐀
and the rich is at the top food chain as the predator eagles 🦅

What do you mean by interesting times and why would someone want to live in them?

That's why it's a curse ;) As for what I mean, **gesters vaguely at the last five years or so**

Interesting times are the things that history books are written about.

Has anyone else had a mentor (assigned to them by the Company) who seemed to have it out for you? I mean downright sabotage to make you look bad left and right. I didn’t realize it at first. She was fake friendly, but she was discrete too. Some of the executives thought she was amazing, but I had to clean up her work all the time. She wasn’t above me either on the chain of command. Later I found out she had tried for the exec assistant role and they didn’t choose her, they wanted me instead.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
