Companies: Sorry, since you’ve moved to an area with lower wages and cost-of-living, we have to adjust your pay down 12%. Me: Oh. Huh. Well, at least your product is cheaper here since the average household income is lower, right? Companies: No.

I had my 5th CBT therapist session now and it feels like taking massive weights off my shoulders. I can highly recommend it to work out the bullshit that's in your head. It's like a vacuum cleaner for your brain 🧹🧠
