That terrible thought

I've been struggling trying to survive in the corporation for several years now. Recent 1.5 years has been the nightmare of the nightmare. All of my colleagues have been "changed", if not "transferred" to the insignificant department and soon they had themselves removed.

One of the ultimate reasons for such change is being the new chief. To him, "old" staff is seen to be the cancer cell of the corporation. They either chemo the staff away, or they starve the staff to death. The worst part of this being the mental abuse. The forever unfinished task that is impossible to achieve. The un-demoted position that took away all the subordinates and employed higher ranking officers to supervise a senior officer.

I haven't been really sleeping well lately. The amount of pressure I'm facing everyday makes me feel like puke. Even when I'm asleep, my mind is on guard preparing to answer some sarcastic questions that any answer would lead me into another sarcastic question. For example, this client had performed 15% more than last year, why? If I answer because the client liked me, then the following question will be why other clients don't like me. I can answer because the client has done a joint promotion with the bank, and the next question will be why don't you do the same with the rest of the clients? The moment a question being thrown, I know I'm in trouble no matter how I answer it.

At times, I'd rather chooses to remain silent and let those bastards continue calling my name and insulting my work. Even then, they will be able to find ways to slap on more responsibilities to me. Since you have no comment, we assume you agreed to take up the role. At this time, I'm easily having 3 persons responsibilities on my head. Each and every of my tasks has a deadline, and I knew I will never be able to complete any of those, period.

Sometimes when I'm driving, I will be thinking of what if an accident caused me dead, my family gets the insurance claim and I'd be free from all these mess. Other times, I'd be hoping those corporate bastards crash and burn at the cliff. Too bad, Kuala Lumpur is a mining valley. Sometimes when I'm crossing the street, I hope I get into one of the deadly accidents and be done with it. Other times, I hope all of them get into that tragic accident instead of myself.

I know I know, it's dark. I thought this is going to be a good year for me, apparently it turned out to be yet another bad year, and probably the worst I had so far. If there's anything I forget to thank God, it will be the family that are still healthy and safe. No one else to be blamed except for my pussiness in handling my job career. When the whole branch left and I'm the one still here, that's not brave, it's just pure sissy. If the boss wanted to cherish me, they would have given me my damn promotion years ago.

Forgive me for the weakness I had in cursing other people and even myself. I desperately needed relief from all these horse crap.

Dude, that sounds pretty rough! Are you able to move to another job, or is this just what corporate culture is like overall?

I’m sending positive energies and a prayer your way my friend.

Thanks for the prayer. The greatest challenge now is age incompatibility. Corporate would prefer to hire younger people to replace me at half the price. I guess, I missed the golden opportunity to "move on", several times. I thought if I stayed back, I'd get a promotion.

Once again, those are just hypothetical questions. I won't know what's gonna happen if I changed jobs 7 years ago with my ex-boss. Who knows I could be in a worse scenario? Or, a CEO of another corporation.

Now, I need to focus, find something I can rely on and GTFO.

Sorry you have to read this. I wish I had more goofy stuff to share, but at this point of time I am worrying if I quit the job, the family will be suffering. If I don't, I'd worry if I will quit living.

I can understand the struggle. It would be much easier if it were just us, but unfortunately, we have family and loved ones to care for. I hope things will get better for you. Just keep going 💪

It sounds quite difficult to deal with a situation like this. Aren't you moving to another job or trying a business that can provide your income? I'm sorry to read this.

Sorry to bring so much negativity in one post. I think I want to get a car and sign up for e-hailing service.

Sometimes the people leading the corporations are the problem, and not their employees. Damn, I would have cursed on them if this happened to me too. But I hope you'll still have a better year. Those bastards will surely get the karma they deserve.

There's absolutely no one else I should blame other than myself. Corporate ladder is just a cruel squid game, everyone that looks like a friend will end up slaughtering each other for a promotion.

Damn it bro, I keep wishing the universe delivers you something better. I realize you got bills to pay and that finding a better or equivalent job is not easy. However, it does seem as time goes by that you only loathe the working conditions more and more. If you ever decide to make a job switch or decide to quite, my family and I can try to help as much as possible via crypto means until you get on your feet again.

Hang in there bro. You have a random bearded ginger guy on a mountain in Cambodia rooting for you 👊.
