I feel frustrated at work for several reasons. The stress isn't coming from my job; I work hard and everything is stable and secure. The pressure is coming from management itself. They don't appreciate hard work and marginalize people for being objective—I'm speaking for myself, of course. They value those who are gossipy, malicious, and envious, possessing all the negative qualities.

Some of you might wonder why I stayed for so long, almost two years. It's for very personal and professional reasons. I was wronged, and I say it plainly: I made a mistake staying for so long after being treated unjustly. I intend to resign this week, and the idea of ​​waiting until I find another job isn't on my mind. My philosophy is to resign and then look for a job opportunity, focusing 100% on it.

I've decided to leave on good terms and professionally because my mind tells me not to go back to that hell again, but I'm a very professional person. Before I took this position, everything was disorganized and inefficient. Since my arrival, I've fixed everything and even made my department so excellent that other departments, like the labor inspectorate and the occupational health service, praise me. Keep in mind that I'm responsible for occupational health and safety.

If you knew how much I'm paid, you'd laugh your heads off. Anyway, thank you for getting to this point, because I don't have anyone else to talk to or chat with about this.

I’m 5'11" and wear a US size 10

I don’t know what it is, but I have a serious obsession with Converse. My closet is basically a shrine to them, with a few Adidas pairs sprinkled in for good measure.

I’ve been trying to figure out why I gravitate toward them so much, and I think it’s the fit. I have pretty long, narrow feet with almost no arches, and these silhouettes just seem to complement that shape perfectly without looking bulky.

Does anyone else feel like their foot shape dictates their entire collection? Or am I just looking for an excuse to buy my 10th pair of All Stars? Lol.

Would love to hear from my fellow narrow-footed sneakerheads!

I’m currently an HSE (Health and Safety) professional at a prestigious company. I was hired at 24 with no prior experience but with top-tier qualifications from a leading institution. Despite my age, I was more than up to the task and performed well.

About a year into the job, things took a dark turn. A group of colleagues conspired against me, framing me in a "moral scandal" involving a female colleague. In reality, she was my girlfriend, but I kept our private life separate from the office. To protect her reputation and honor, I didn't reveal our relationship during the "investigation." We were both wrongly punished with 8-day suspensions.

Eventually, I found out exactly who was behind the setup—people I thought were close to me. Since then, I’ve cut them off entirely, speaking to them only when strictly necessary for work. When one of them recently confronted me about my "change in attitude," I told them straight up that they knew exactly what they did and to stay out of my sight.

It has been a year since that incident (April 2025), and I am still struggling with intense fits of rage. I’ve funneled a lot of my frustration into fitness—I’ve developed a much stronger, more athletic physique—but the mental anger remains.

The Dilemma: My manager thinks very highly of me because I’m proactive and always ahead of schedule. However, his deputy seems to favor the group that framed me. I see this group continuing their "tribal" behavior with zero consequences, while I was penalized for something fabricated.

I’m seriously considering resigning because of the toll this is taking on my peace of mind. Has anyone else dealt with this kind of workplace betrayal? How do you move past the rage when you still have to see the people who sabotaged you every day?
