On my last job ...

Before you diagnose yourself with depression or low self esteem, first make sure you are not, in fact, just surrounded by assholes. -

*sigh* I thought I was past blaming my only bosses for the crappiness that was my last two jobs. Sure, they brought a lot of crap to the table, but I was clinically depressed. I had undiagnosed anemia. It wasn't like I was bringing on my A-game. On the other hand, there is this: they used to refuse to give me work and then scream at me because I wasn't working.

Methinks that with bosses like that, you had reasons to be depressed.

Yeah, the last two companies I worked at got really bizarre as they started having financial difficulties.

An employer who refuses to give you work loses the right to bitch.

You would think. Even though they knew I had nothing to work on, they framed it as if I was lazy or something. It was odd. Why would they think I'd want to sit around doing nothing all day? That's terribly dull.
