Workplace with Cult-Like Tendencies (lemmy.ml)

I'm an intern at a workplace where they are heavily into this LGAT thing called 'PSI Seminars.' LGATs are cult like I suppose.

I tried to complete the PSI Seminars basic but ended up feeling very unwell and going home the second day.

I ended up catching a cold. Didn't go to work for a week.

Since I have come back, things have fallen apart. I was being considered for temporary work for November and part of December. They had been telling me this since October 6th.

Well, not anymore. They just replied with, 'Oh, we found someone else.'

A couple of people who were incredibly nice before treat me like a pariah. Like they're annoyed to even see me.

People avoid me now. Most people in the office went through and finished PSI Basic.

I'm sad because things were looking up, and they came crashing down. I only get 80 hours for this internship, and I might just spend the rest of them just sitting at a desk doing and learning nothing. I'm like an afterthought now.

I know I have no future there. And when this internship ends, I will not have an income stream from an additional source.

I suffer from depression and I feel myself going to a deep dark place.

What kind of cave do you live in?

People get the cold and flu for a week. For people, like myself, it happens yearly.

I know its been a month since this conversation and it looks like you've forgotten, so I'll just point up the thread. A cold and the flu are different things. You said "a cold". A cold should not take you out of work for a week. The flu certainly could, but thats not what you said you had.

What kind of cave do you live in?

The same cave your former boss lives in that knows a cold doesn't take you out of work for a week apparently.
