The supposed "good guys" are even worse

I worked for non profits for 5 years. I landed a job at a well known NGO. Bad pay, lots of overworking, a culture of self-exploitation - a lot of downsides. But they gave me the feeling of being part of something bigger and I loved telling white middle class liberals at parties whom I worked for.

The contract was limited to one year, but they made me believe I'd be given a permanent position after that. Spoiler alert: they didn't. I sweat this is the last time I'm giving any employer so much of my time and energy. I think from now on I prefer corporate bullshit. Ironically, the "good guys" are worse.
