This isn't the sad reality of your profession, it's almost the same in every job.

I am a teacher, have worked for various privately owned schools and colleges. I can resonate the same, being overworked, Burned out, replaceable, thought like a machine, only given tasks to complete the syllabus much before the time and then neglected, used in other work like advertising for the schools etc. etc.

Those who use noble professions for the benifit of their business are not human beings for me, they are cruel and dishonest and a stain on our race.
