Thanks! I’m now working in a new role where there is no more ridiculous pressure or wild expectations and have been able to commit to working on a degree (because I fucked up the first one).
Work shouldn’t leave you panicking on a monday morning or crying into your lunch.
My old boss gave me a load of shit for writing down tasks that I had to do. He just couldn’t comprehend that it wouldn’t stick if it wasn’t written down.
He took my book from me, and then asked me to do a bunch of complicated stuff each with its own deadline.
He then got annoyed when I didn’t do the stuff because I hadn’t written it down because he took my book.
He got sacked, I got promoted.
UK here, on an apprenticeship and earning £40,000+ a year.
Recognise I’m exceptionally lucky but no idea how anyone could afford to complete a degree while living independently in current times.
