Thank you; I mean this. Kindness: the only true currency.
Read the last few years of this thread if you like. Guide, method, coping, theory, and application, among others.... It is tolerance of the intolerable, and seeping solace from stupidity. I took something they never had, though I grant you, that's worse. It contains what we all do, where we all are & aren't, and for that I apologize.
You are. You did. I'm not. You owe me nothing. Our system is flawed; its beneficiaries enjoy that. Those they don't scare, they scar, like me. You had no voice and borrowed mine enough to leave stigmata. A better system is needed. Evidence of your boss' actions dictated her downfall. Lack of it and failure to protect witnesses delayed it.
Continue managing, avoiding vices, and knowing the hole you're trying to fill with food or Mal-adaptive behavior. Flawed tools, but better than many others or none at all and sufficient for now, but not forever. One day, replace flawed tools with better ones. Continue avoiding the common vices. Begin creating virtues. Hand over hand eventually works.
Stay low, gradually improve your situation.
