ng. That last day started good then devolved.
About 2 hours after getting home I decided I'm going to quit 1st thing when I go back in 2 weeks. Take my chances with unemployment. The feeling of relief was so vivid. Reminded me of when I finally decided to get divorced. The relief of making that decision and ending the stress was so strong. I look back at that as one of the 2 best decisions I ever made (the other was leaving the midwest).
It's not smart to quit without another job. I'll probably chicken out anyway.
Poor Ted, I just emailed him the whole saga of today. No wonder I need 3 hour therapy sessions, the stress of one single day nearly drives me mad. And not even a whole day.
I finally confronted my boss about my "lead" role that I was told I had, but that she acts like I don't have. I came out of our talk feeling simultaneously stroked and threatened. It was a complete mindf***.
I learned that the reason so many people at my company work 7 day weeks is that they're on immigration visas that make their stay in the U.S. dependent on that particular job. They probably all work for much less than me too. I guess the use of this type of immigration visa is a big trend in my profession that I managed to be completely ignorant of til now. I knew there were a lot of non-citizens, but I didn't really understand their status til today. I feel like a big idiot. Explains a lot about the culture there. Like why nobody complains.
