It's certainly an abuse of power, and sadly in the setting of most conventional jobs, you are seen as a bottom line and nothing more.

My last job, I was a roofer. It was a challenging job indeed, and I was underpaid IMO. Day in and day out I felt like shit, physically, emotionally, spiritually.. Just a shell of a man who was working on sheer will power alone. By the time the winter rolled around, this employer was determined to get as many roofs done as possible.

I was working on roofs in the country hills of NY, in sub temperatures. One day I pretty much said "fuck this" and quit on the spot after working a year at this job. He seemed to think I gave a shit about the money he owed me that I would not be paid if I didn't complete the job.. I laughed that one off, as if money is the answer to everything... haaa. That couple of hundred bucks wasn't worth losing my fingers!!!!

I decided in that moment that I would never work a conventional job again if I can avoid it. At times, I'm barely able to eat, but I'm much happier and fulfilled living a life where I work in ways that align with my "purpose".

I'm really sad for people who are stuck in the hamster wheel. I know people who are just exhausted and miserable who've worked factory jobs their whole life, are perpetually in debt...

I wish I knew the answers man. It's not within everyone's means to not work conventional.

I hope you are ingesting some nice herbs to combat this. I can't recommend anything, because I don't know for certain, but garlic seems to keep my immune system tip top lately. I'm pretty sure I had bronchitis over the past week, and I kicked the shit out of it just eating healthy, no doctor visit, zero pharma's. Might have to see me on a death bed to get a pharma down this throat again after my experiences.

Get well, sending positive vibes.
