Wow! I wish I didn’t, but my experiences parallel yours in so many ways (minus the spouse) that I could have written a similar story. (Actually, I have, a few times.)
I recently had a workload that was roughly 15 days a week. I warned them that I was failing behind in the same manner. Naturally, I also got fired after they decided to withhold my paycheck for my poor performance. That was December, so no Christmas for me last year as the world at large automatically sides with the employer.
Just pondering filing a lawsuit just made everything worse as the company is plenty experienced in circumnavigating the laws supposedly protecting us workers from their wrath. I’m now out thousands of dollars that I didn’t have to begin with and have been given a deadline of June 1st to resume my mortgage payments or get my home foreclosed on and get tossed to the street. No one cares about the numerous times my employer violated the law to “put me in my place.”
My baby boomer NPD Republican father enjoys helping these demons when he can. He gets jealous when my salary is higher than his and does his best to undermine my job security. He told me that he wants to make sure that I suffer more than him in life., which I already have, but he’s a narcissist so his judgement of the relative amount of our suffering is a little ways off center.
I recall how happy my mostly boomer family was when President Reagan passed his social security reform robbing me of my mother’s social security benefits as her sole beneficiary when I was just 13 years old. They were supposed to continue until I was 21. These people who own multiple houses and are now retired on their pensions thought that it best for me to struggle as they had (ha!), and work at miserable abusive low paying jobs instead of receiving that $800 a month supplemental stipend that was paid into by my mother. They didn’t think that I deserved an unfair advantage of that extra money despite being left essentially orphaned to fend for myself. My father certainly wasn’t going to be a parent or provide me any sort of support.
Sorry for rambling in your space, but your story really hit home.
Just one more parallel: my Ivy League educated boss who as an MD owned a few clinics in my hometown told me in 2001 as he was firing me that I would never work again in the town of my birth nor the healthcare industry. I had been sexually assaulted by his Director of Finance, so he wasn’t very happy.
He was mostly right about me never again working in the town of my birth and the healthcare industry. I left the country to find employment.
Back in the US now, these ghosts from the past still won’t let me be. Potential employers grill me on the details of my past in job interviews. Several times I’ve been passed over for employment because of events from 22 years ago in 2001.
It was the boomers that created this obscenity absurd hiring process too. If future society learns anything from the horrors of my life they should immediately abolish our current hiring process that favors narcissists over others. They should take seriously and follow up thoroughly on claims of mistreatment in the workplace.
They should nullify all these interconnected practices that gives employers complete dominance over our lives, determining who gets healthcare and who doesn’t, and who gets a home and who gets to be punished, pushed into homelessness.
Thanks for sharing.

Edit: I suppose I should say as I’ve said before, I know it’s not every boomer. Heck, it’s not even 20% of them. It’s those prone to narcissistic and sociopathic tendencies which is a small part of the population in any generation. It’s just the ones that seek power and control over others. We as a people have a nasty habit of handing power to people who want it.
