[Serious] Redditors: Honestly, how are you?

All of my life, I have farmed animals. I remember my dad giving me a set of waders for Christmas the year I turned 5 and my job was to get the bucket from the barn and carry it to the small hog pen we had and dump it into their trough, then fill the bucket with feed, carry it over and dump it into the trough with the water. From that morning onwards I have been a hog farmer. I have never been or done anything that doesn't directly relate to hogging.

30 years later and I'm sitting here and going over my year end reports from 2016. I've grown up to run the single most productive farm in the company. My crew and I's numbers are about double on the good parts and about half of the bad parts of the other farms in my state, let alone company.

The problem is that my boss is one of the most dishonest people I have ever met. He has no balls and you simply cannot trust a single word out of his mouth. I've got two guys that have no called/no showed for the first two days of this week, so I'm probably going to have to let them go. These are both dudes with families. One has a newborn at home.

What's more is that I'm as high in the company as I can go. There's one guy above me that's 40 years old and able bodied who got cleaned out in a divorce a couple years ago. As such, I put in for a transfer to another division of the company. Even though that was shot down, my department heads have almost entirely cut me off. They have begun treating me like trash and they, too, have decided that integrity isn't something they want to have.

At this point, I don't see any where to go but out completely and, while the idea of going somewhere else is sort of exciting, I'm on day 4 of sleeping about 3 hours a night worrying about it.
