I think I've reached some kind of job nirvana. My coworkers and I all complain about our work. We're overworked, underappreciated, underpaid, and and have to deal with all sorts of bullshit all the time. Pretty much everyone who has been on the team longer than a year is talking about quitting.
But I started at this company as a level 1 tech support phone technician before I transferred into the DevOps side of things, and that tech support job was SO much worse. Way more stressful, way less pay, mandatory overtime, horrible scheduling, being forced to remain calm while people hurl insults at you over the phone, and it was a dead-end job with a high turnover rate and almost no opportunities for advancement of any kind.
And every time I think back on that job, I realize that what I have now is actually pretty great. I'm paid well (still underpaid for the job I do, but catching up really fast due to my current boss giving me several big raises to keep me from quitting lol). I deal only with other tech people like developers and data scientists so no more listening to salesmen insult me on the phone. I'm not in any sort of customer service role so I can call people on their bullshit as long as I'm professional about it. I'm salaried so they can't make me work horrible shifts. 99% of my days are a normal 9-5 workday. I actually have a reliable schedule to plan around.
People treat me like the adult that I am.
I'd get a similar experience at other, better-paying companies, for sure, but what I have now is still pretty great.
I'm sure I'll be back in a few days to rant about more nonsensical bullshit and stress, but for now I'm feeling the zen. -
Losing $27,300.50 to a cryptocurrency scam felt like a ruinous punch to the gut. One moment, I was finalizing what appeared to be a legitimate online purchase, a limited time opportunity endorsed by polished testimonials and a professional looking platform. The website boasted glowing reviews and featured a countdown timer that pressured users to act swiftly. It felt authentic, complete with an SSL certification, a sleek interface, and even a fabricated customer service chat. I transferred my life savings, convinced I had secured a rare investment. The next moment, my funds vanished into the digital abyss. The platform disappeared, replaced by a stark error message. My stomach plummeted. I had been ghosted. The scammers left no trace, only a hollow void where my money once resided. Shame engulfed me. How could I have been so gullible? For days, I spiraled into despair. Sleep eluded me as I fixated on screenshots of the scam site, dissecting every detail I had overlooked the slightly pixelated logo, the overly polished testimonials. The irreversible nature of cryptocurrency transactions taunted me; the anonymity of blockchain offered no solace. My hands trembled at the thought of starting over. But then, a friend intervened. Scammers thrive on silence,” she insisted, her voice resolute. “You must speak up for yourself and others.Reluctantly, I shared my story on Instagram, exposing the scam’s mechanics, the false urgency, the cloned platform. Vulnerability burned within me, but the response was astonishing. Hundreds replied, recounting identical nightmares. One message stood out: Contact PYRAMID HACK SOLUTION Website; https: // pyramidhacksolution. com They’re legitimate. Their website was clinical yet reassuring promising recovery with no upfront fees.

The specialist later revealed that my case helped dismantle part of the network. Today, I advocate for victims. The scars remain, but so does this truth: silence protects criminals.
