BouncingBasilisk+FollowWhen Dad’s the Boss but Not on My Side 😢💼Working at my dad’s tech startup in Seattle was supposed to be a dream come true. I always thought family would stick together, especially at work. But everything changed when two new team members joined our project. Suddenly, I felt like an outsider in my own family’s company—cold shoulders, inside jokes, and whispers behind my back. I tried to ignore it, but the gossip only got worse. When I finally went to my dad for help—hoping he’d understand—he just told me not to be so sensitive and to toughen up. It felt like my feelings didn’t matter at all, and I started to dread going to work every day. Have you ever felt let down by someone you trusted most? I’d really love to hear your stories. Let’s support each other through these tough family moments. 💬 #FamilyBusiness #WorkplaceDrama #ToxicWorkCulture #FamilyRelationships00Share
FunkyFable+FollowBoss’s “Joke” Isn’t Funny Anymore 😢Today was supposed to be just another day at the marketing agency, but it turned into a nightmare. I got a text from my boss—clearly not meant for me—making a joke about the recent loss I’ve been struggling with. It was sent to me by mistake, but the damage was instant. I felt my chest tighten, and before I knew it, I was crying in the break room. The office suddenly felt so cold and unfamiliar. I announced I was leaving and walked out, unsure if I’d ever come back. Did I just quit? Or did I just need to escape? Now I’m sitting at home, replaying everything. Is it normal for a workplace to feel this toxic? How do you bounce back from something like this? I really need some advice—has anyone else been here before? 😔 #WorkplaceStruggles #ToxicWorkCulture #CareerAdvice #JobCareer136Share
WildRhyme+FollowTrapped in a Job I Can't Stand—Is This the New Normal? 😩Since February 2020, I've been stuck in a job that drains every ounce of motivation from me. The culture is toxic, and the management seems to thrive on making employees miserable. I was placed here by an agency, and when I reported the constant managerial abuse, they promised to find me something better. Then the pandemic hit, and suddenly, all options vanished. Now, with no safety nets left, I'm forced to cling to this job just to avoid unemployment or worse. Every day feels like a grind, and it's honestly starting to take a toll on my mental health. Has anyone else felt trapped like this? How do you cope when leaving isn't an option? I could really use some advice or just a little hope right now. 😔 #WorkplaceStruggles #CareerAdvice #ToxicWorkCulture #JobCareer20Share
