Had a long chat with some of my coworkers today about work stuff and the state of the world and money and it was grim as hell, but it felt nice to complain and feel validated about said complaints.

But also damn. Nobody in my generation is doing ok.

#i talk #job talk #They're all sweet gals #the whole ''only privileged people can work at nonprofits because the pay is piss poor'' thing was a big part of the convo #and some politics stuff and Grim World Stuff too #but hearing some of the things they said makes me want to talk to some of the higher-ups in our work and just shake them and scream #I don't want to get into details but good god this country is a nightmare #capitalism is a nightmare everything is a nightmare #I left the conversation feeling somewhat ok despite the grim topics because like I said it did feel nice to complain and I adore them #but I'm thinking about our discussion more now and I'm frustrated again #I think when I'm inevitably forced to leave this job because of aforementioned piss-poor pay I'll give them all my cell number #I did explicitly tell them if they were ever looking for a new job and needed a reference I'd be happy to do that for them #The whole reference thing is so stupid imo but that's a whole different topic to unpack and I'm tired and grumpy so I'm going to sleep
