Just woke up in the middle of the night. Feel aweful. Was having. Dream about fighting a bully who was kicking me in the nuts.

exxon is more of a circus to me. It is a joke of a company and I don't know how it survives.
Same old tired post. Zzzzzzzzz.
Bullying is EM’s branded leadership style.
I wouldn’t necessarily quit. This cruelty is engineered into the system to cause all 40 something employees to voluntarily quit. It perfectly normal and healthy to worry when they are putting the squeeze on you when you are most vulnerable in terms of your peak earning years, peak pension accrual years, and for many peak family responsibilities. You’re facing a big decision on whether you can realistically stick it out to retirement. So, yes, it’s normal to lose some sleep. You’ll find it gets easier in your late 40’s and 50’s. You’re no less vulnerable, but it becomes something you no longer have control over so less sleepless nights. It’s not easy, but best of luck to you whatever you decide.
This dream is symbolic. Being kicked in the nuts in an attack on your confidence, security, personal power, or ability to stand your ground. This is because life now is hitting below the belt. The bully represents a person, or situation that is unfair, dismissive, controlling, critical, and draining. Fighting back in the dream means you have not surrendered. You are under stress but not defeated. A part of you is saying: “No. I do not accept these terms and conditions.” In summary, morale is low, boundaries are being violated, and additional armor is required. If you have any more dreams, post them here for interpretation.
The mind has a tendency of building the worst case scenario and dwell on it. It’s easy to go down that rabbit hole. You might try some meditation.
If the situation is really bad and not temporary then maybe it’s time for a change.
try some youtube meditations videos, like twinkle twinkle little PIP
If you are waking up in the night panicking about your job it's probably time for a change for the sake of your health and sanity. XOM should not be taken that seriously, it's a clown company.
I hope things get better for you.
Make sure to enjoy the holiday weekend, and ask Jesus and God to guide you and protect you.
