      Therapy is capitalist “get back to work” propaganda for the vulnerable. Just say/do whatever they have to do to get you back on the job.

    The companies that provide actual mental help is too damn rare. You may get some once you get burnt out, but that’s basically a bandaid.

      That’s because under capitalism the optimal strategy is “work to extinction” because then they can’t leave to work for another company.

        I just left the employment of an opioid manufacturer. They are tripling down and spending to increase production. Good luck on your second bankruptcy in 5 years Mallinkrodt/SpecGX.

    My wife was having issues directly related to (caused by) things at work, and she called their mental health line.

    The number led to an automated system that forwarded you to somewhere else, and even though it was solidly in operating times and away from meal times, it went to a messaging system

    She never got a call back. Nothing was ever mentioned again.

    0/10, MAGNA does not care about it’s employees or factory safety.
