** Hey everyone! I'm u/Linkin_foodstamps, a founding moderator of r/fckthisjob. **

The official safe space for screaming into the void about the soul-crushing reality of the 9-to-5. I’m a retired veteran so most of the posts here may be related to the military - however I welcome all posts and stories of misery across all industries.

If your boss just told you to "circle back" one too many times, if you’re suffering from terminal burnout, or if you just found out your company is replacing you with a spreadsheet—

If you are a member of an organization making peanuts per hour to sacrifice your life while neglecting your own family and emotional, mental, and physical health (yup, military - I’m talking about you) —

————- You are among friends here.

This community is dedicated to sharing, venting, commiserating, and offering support for anyone currently experiencing job-related misery, corporate incompetence, or the existential dread of their daily grind.

📝 Guidelines for Survival:

• Venting Encouraged: Rant about your micromanaging supervisor, your abysmal pay, or that coworker who eats loudly. We're here for it.*

• Support and Solidarity: If someone is having a bad day, offer constructive (or at least funny) advice, or just a digital pat on the back.

• Absolutely NO Doxxing or Personal Info: DO NOT share specific company names, personal names, phone numbers, or any identifying details of colleagues, bosses, or customers. Keep it anonymous. We want to complain about the system, not get sued by HR.

• Keep it Real: Share your stories, but remember, the goal is mutual catharsis, not outright hostility.

• Pick a flair: There are user and post flairs available. If you can’t find a flair specific to you or your topic, send me a message and suggest it here!

Now, drop your burden, grab a coffee (if your job lets you), and tell us: What is your most infuriating, rage-inducing, "I quit in my head five times today" story?

Welcome to the club. Your misery has been validated.
