Life Unfiltered and Unconventional The Modern Day Rat Races
Join me as I explore the fuck up's and mistreatments we endure from these jobs we work
Who am I
I’ve spent my entire working life in jobs that seemed to lead nowhere, often feeling like I was stuck in an endless loop of routine tasks and unfulfilled promises. For years, I’ve poured my time, energy, and dedication into roles that offered little more than a paycheck, with no room for growth or recognition. The lack of opportunity left me feeling like I was just another cog in a machine—replaceable, unimportant, and ultimately forgotten.
Along the way, I’ve encountered more than my fair share of mistreatment. Colleagues who passed the blame without a second thought, managers who saw me as nothing more than an obligation to manage, and even C-suite executives who were too far removed from the realities of the day-to-day grind to ever truly understand the impact of their decisions on the people doing the work. I've been disregarded, disrespected, and at times, outright belittled—but I kept pushing forward, because what else was I supposed to do?
What I've learned from all of this is hard to put into words. The years have taken a toll, but they've also shaped me in ways I didn't expect. I've become resilient, patient, and more self-reliant. I’ve learned to expect little, and because of that, I no longer chase after validation from those who never gave it in the first place. At the end of the day, I may not have the accolades or accomplishments that others often flaunt, but I’ve survived the grind. And that, in itself, is something that deserves recognition.
I’m not sure where this journey will take me next, but I know I won’t make the same mistakes. The next chapter is mine to write, and it’s about finding a space where my work is valued—not just for what I do, but for who I am.
