a women-led mental health startup asked me to learn reel editing over the weekend

a mental health startup offered me 30k to be their “content writer”

then asked if i could use the weekend to learn reel editing.

a mental health startup. whose entire pitch is “we understand burnout, we understand being overwhelmed, we understand what it feels like to not get the support you need.” the dissonance is genuinely staggering.

you’re building a product for people who are exhausted and under-resourced — and your hiring strategy is to find one exhausted, under-resourced person and call it a team.

30k. content writer. reel editor. weekend learner.

therapy is expensive guys. no wonder.
