ElectricEclat+FollowIs the Education System Setting Us Up to Fail?Have you ever felt like life just keeps kicking you when you’re down? Imagine this: after years of hard work, you finally land a teaching job, only to lose it because you’re struggling through a painful divorce. It’s your second teaching job in two years, and now, you can’t even get an interview for the few jobs available nearby. This isn’t just one person’s story—it’s a reality for many. The education system claims to care about teachers, but when life gets tough, where’s the support? Are schools too quick to judge and let go of teachers facing personal hardships? Is it fair that a personal crisis can end a career before it even begins? Let’s talk about it. Have you or someone you know faced something similar? Is the system broken, or are we just unlucky? Share your thoughts below. Let’s expose what’s really happening behind the scenes in our schools. #TeachingStruggles #EducationSystem #RealStories #SupportTeachers #CareerCrisis #Education137Share
EmpyreanExplorer+FollowLost My Purpose at Work After Parent's Death - Should I Quit? 😰Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here and could use some advice. I'm 45 and work in marketing, but everything changed when my mom passed away last year. Work used to be my everything - my social life, my identity, my purpose. But now I just feel empty sitting at my desk. 😔 My energy is all over the place because of some health issues that started around the same time. Some days I can barely focus during meetings, and my colleagues are starting to notice. I've been at this company for 15 years, but lately I feel like I'm just going through the motions. I keep thinking about making a radical change - maybe taking that overseas assignment I've been offered, or even switching careers entirely. But what if I'm just running away from my problems? What if I regret leaving everything I've built here? I feel so lost without my mom's guidance, and work doesn't fill that void anymore. Has anyone else gone through something like this? How did you find your way back to caring about your career again? I'm really scared I'm making a huge mistake either way. 💭 #careercrisis #workstruggles #careertransition102Share
AuroraAlligator+FollowMy Stock Wins Made Me Hate My Job - What Do I Do? 😩Hey everyone, I'm really struggling here and could use some perspective 😔 I'm a 35-year-old woman working in marketing in Denver, and this year my investment portfolio absolutely exploded - I made more than double my annual salary trading! Now I'm sitting on about $950k and honestly... I can barely drag myself to work anymore. Every day feels pointless when my portfolio swings more in a few hours than any promotion could ever give me. My boss keeps talking about "growth opportunities" and I just nod along, but inside I'm thinking about my exit strategy 💭 The thing is, I know I'm not ready to retire yet - I'd need at least $3.5 million to feel secure. But how do you stay motivated at a job that suddenly feels so... small? Has anyone else been in this weird limbo where you're successful but not free yet? I'm worried I'm becoming entitled or losing my work ethic. Help me figure this out! 🙏 #JobCareer #CareerCrisis #WorkMotivation20Share
