My immediate team under my manager are basically people who have the same material experiences I did of min wage work, living in crap conditions and the best hope was not losing all our savings to a car breaking down.

Without these people here I would actually go completely insane because outside of this bubble I work with literal aliens. People who own yachts and go abroad 72 times a year and their future aspirations are to be a CEO. The problem is i’ve been ripped away from my team of people i actually like and forced to work with some dude who spent half his life in university and cant even copy paste something I wrote correctly and keeps generating brain melting levels of ai bullshit. This guy im surprised he can even put his clothes on in the morning and outside of my bubble absolutely everyone is like this and its always the same story. People who had privileged lives and never had to do anything difficult ever. The concept of sleeping for dinner is lost on them
