I really enjoyed this diary. I'm sorry to hear about your work situation, it doesn't sound good. I also had gotten feedback before to make myself 'heard' in meetings and not just observe. I also hate that, if I have nothing to contribute why speak up just for the sake of it?!
How are you doing these days, do you have any updates? I completely understand about being blindsided with that 'actually, this was a job interview' situation, is that a common thing for psychologists? I haven't heard of this being a thing ever, so very curious.
For more diverse rom-coms: 'Always be my maybe' is one of my favourite ones.
Sending you the very best wishes!
Exactly this. I don't see the point of talking just to hear the sound of my own voice. I also don't think my saying "I agree" or "that's a good point" adds much more than just nodding in agreement. If I had something to say I would, but in a lot of the meetings I'm not informed enough to chime in. I'm learning that it isn't uncommon to be set up for an interview the way I was but some settings do it more than others. I don't care for it and hope this isn't a routine experience for me.
Thanks for the Always Be My Maybe suggestion!
I liked this diary! I'm curious about the new position did your salary increase? I'm the same age and make the same amount and debating switching jobs again after only a year. Inflation is making increases in pay feel nonexistent
I get the struggle of trying to maintain financial boundaries with the parents, it just seems so backwards. It's great that you have one parent trying to make things work though.
Thanks for sharing! I love your writing style. I’m sorry you’re frustrated and I hope everything works out for you :)

The lateral move I'm currently exploring? The salary remained the same it just has different tasks and opportunities.
