A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

I feel for you, it's a real situation.
I'm fortunate in that I've managed to build up a bit of "fuck you" money. So-called because if my employer did anything awful I could say "fuck you" and walk away, and know I had I few months of buffer.
It definitely makes me feel more able to stand up for myself and others when I don't fear the consequences of losing my job. I wish everyone could feel that way because it would make society a better place, and UBI would help.
