Toxic workplaces often hide behind positivity. Smiles, slogans, and “good vibes only”… but no real support or honesty. Have you ever worked somewhere that looked healthy on the outside but felt heavy inside?

This is how most workplaces end up being for me after the initial honeymoon phase, to be honest. There's always something murky and upsetting underneath the surface that nobody acknowledges until they end up leaving. I've honestly yet to find a workplace that I didn't have this sort of dynamic, unfortunately.

Or you deal with the unhealthy environment because you need to work but end up being pushed out eventually because you are the person that doesn't get involved in the office politics, therefore you are disliked or don't fit in with their office dynamic.

Do you mean put on a good face at the interview but once employed, you witness the opposite? The answer is Yes.

They always hide behind “positivity” and pizza parties. The last place I worked was just like that. Everyone wanted to work there, but once you got in, it was awful. I had to leave because of the toll it took on my mental health.

How do I divide the chores in this case? I’m the breadwinner - husband has been taking time off from work. No kids. Two dogs.

I feel like I do more chores because there are some things that I just can’t stand. Like dishes left in the sink, dirty floor, dirty dogs, laundry…etc. When I ask him to do those chores, he says he will do them later but he takes forever. So I do them instead. He does grocery shopping, yard work, some cooking. Is it unfair if I repeatedly ask him to do more? 😡😡

Cross-posting: Im trying to flip a new build - long story, but have had certain circumstances come up and can't keep the home - but I'm now competing with the builder because they have homes still being built in the neighborhood (there is nothing against me selling it). They have started offering added incentives and low balling due to market conditions. What do I have and what can I do to sell mine? Or should I give up and just rent it out and wait? Any advice appreciated.

My generation is really f#cked up. It's impossible to save any money. And it's not that I don't want to. Is simply because I can't do it, by the end of the month there is really not much left. I'm exhausted of working to just pay bills 😔 Sometimes I wonder if those people that quit everything to have a better life are really the smarts one.
