...See more I feel trapped in a toxic work environment. I know it's affecting my peace, but leaving isn't as simple as it sounds. I have responsibilities, bills, and reasons I need to stay. How do you cope when you can't leave yet?

...See more After 2 burnouts, one in 2024 and another in 2025, I decided trying to give up on my teacher's career and try something else. Apparently it's not working cuz I've been unemployed for over a year. Yesterday I caught my wife's mom and aunt saying cruel things about me cuz of it. Idk what to do. I live near my mother-in-law, me and my wife live in her building, we don't pay rent etc but lately my wife's parents been needing to help paying some bills. I'm feeling so **** rn and completely emotionally unsafe and uncomfortable in my own house and skin.

Teaching in 2026
by hellopenguin91

...See more I became a paraeducator in 2022 and I really loved it. I ended up going back to school to pursue teaching. I am now an interim teacher and I honestly feel like its the best job I have ever had. I have never felt like I could be 100 percent myself until I began this career path. With that being said, I am exhausted all the time. I work with special needs kids and their lives bleed into my own so frequently. I am always thinking about them and the things they are going through. The emotional weight the job puts on you is a lot and no one really shows you how to navigate or process it. There is also a physical demand as well. Many of these kids can be physically aggressive or just seek a lot of pressure. All day I am redirecting touch and hit and I understand it is their needs but that on top of lesson planning, teaching, meetings and making decisions all day just piles up. Because I teach in special needs I also have to teach every grade, subject and standardized test criteria of the students in my classroom as well as social skill and iep goals. I dont know how anyone expects teachers to do all of this during their shift. I stay after school and I plan on the weekends. I am also still in school and a parent / spouse. Again, I don't want to sound ungrateful because I do love my job but its so much for one person to manage. I am just so tired and this is only my 3rd year.

...See more I work with my uncle and he treats me like a slave, he doesn't give me salary just money for transportation and for eating. I'm tired to work like this but I don't know what to do. I'm afraid to tell him that I don't want to work like this anymore 'cause maybe he can just fire me and I know my mom will be hurted by that. But I really want a salary and clear rules. I'm not a slave

Remote Work/Loneliness

...See more Are there any members who work from home and feel you have no connection to anyone? That’s where I’m at and makes for a very long and depressing work day. All the relationships I have built up with some coworkers are gone. They have all moved on to other jobs. Remote work is a necessity for me due to health issues.
