Venting... I’ve suffered in silence to be in the career field. I‘ve slept on the floor of my vacant apartment . I’ve had weeks that I had to budget just $20 to get thru the week. Then amazing things started to happen. Like I was getting recognized , making great work, and winning, but then my manager started to legit bully to the point I had legit break down. Still here I am, wanting a job & to work hard. I hope after 7 yrs, someone gives me another chance. I want this badder than anything.

This industry will never love you back. Hard work and being creative was never enough. It’s not worth loving. Leave when you can. Your creative skillset can be much more rewarding in other fields.

What other fields? Serious question.

I’ve been there before. It’s so hard and defeating. Work trauma is a real thing so for me therapy helps. I wish you good luck in finding the right place.

How did they bully you?

Train BJJ so at least in the back of your mind you can always know that if it came to it you could mop the floor with their face. That helps to not let the bullying get to you. You can simply laugh at it. And also, go to HR. Threaten a lawsuit.

I am writing this message besides the staff group of EY GDS. Specifically Staff -1 at assurance level. I would request everyone to spare few minutes and read it -

Wanted to bring out that staff-1's are paid peanuts (3.33L CTC) please don't expect them to slog 12-13 hours. They don't have enough motivation or incentives to work that long. Seniors,AM's and Managers should be more kind and explain the work to them clearly rather than making last minute changes.
