Do you think recruiters are terrible? How do you feel about participating in the destruction of the American dream?

I can’t believe I just got a $20k/yr raise and they’re acting like I’m asking for the moon. I don’t even want to be here! I’ve been looking for a new job but I haven’t found anything yet. I’m going to make them pay. <br><br>I’m going to negotiate for more and more until I get a counteroffer that makes me stay. But I will stay. I don’t want to stay I want to leave and I’m going to make them bleed for it.<br><br>I’m so angry.<br><br>I started here at 70k as an entry level EE and I was so excited to join industry. They promised me a life and a career. What they did was slowly drain the life from me. That’s it. I don’t do anything here. I don’t write code, I don’t do anything. They don’t let us. I’m a paper pusher. I think about quitting everyday. They don’t let me do anything. I just sign papers. And this is the career I chose. I’m a failure. <br><br>And they don’t care. They don’t care about me. They don’t even consider me human. I’m a drone. A bee. A tool. <br><br>They say meritocracy but they lie. They lie so much. All they do is lie. They don’t care about your skills. They don’t care about your work. They just care about making money. <br><br>My manager is the worst person I’ve ever met. He’s the most selfish, greedy, sociopathic person I’ve ever encountered. I want him to burn. I want him to end up in a ditch somewhere. I want to kill him. <br><br>I didn’t used to be like this. I used to be a happy person. Now I’m hateful. I hate everyone. I even hate myself. I can’t look at myself in the mirror. I’m dirty. I’m a sinner. <br><br>And I’m angry. I’m so angry.
