I told my manager I was feeling overwhelmed

and they said 'you just need to prioritize your tasks and remember, we're all in this together... as a high-performing team, not as people who will actually support you'

I just got a raise, but it's all relative

because now I can afford ramen noodles twice a week instead of once

I love how our company says 'we're a family here'

except when it's performance review time and suddenly I'm a foster kid up for adoption

My manager told us to 'embrace the chaos' of this quarter.

I'm pretty sure my embrace just gave me emotional whiplash.
