My company says 'we're a family here.'

Which explains why I'm emotionally exhausted and constantly planning my escape.

I've been doing the work in therapy to practice self-compassion

But it's hard to be kind to myself when my student loans are still sending me mean emails

I've been reading about the benefits of having a 5-year plan

but my rent is month-to-month, so that's about as far as I'm thinking

My manager told me to 'embrace the chaos' as a growth opportunity.

My therapist just calls it 'a toxic work environment'.
