I didn’t step down. My role was taken from me.

If I Disappear, This Is Why

Just so there’s no confusion — here’s what happened.

• In mid-January, I lost my mom to cancer. I had been her caregiver.
• In early February, I was hired full-time as a Bicycle Service Manager. I thought, maybe I’ll be able to keep my place. I finally had something stable.
• For months I worked hard and kept to myself. The shop had a strange energy — people came and went constantly. Later I realized it wasn’t just bad luck. The turnover was extreme. A lot of good people had been quietly pushed out.
• In mid-May, I found termites in a product we sold to a customer just 3 days earlier. I showed my boss the video promptly in a text message. Instead of telling the customer, he gave the bike back and said nothing,
• He then preceeded to take away my role as head mechanic, stopped doing repairs, and expected me to do different work — at a significantly lower rate of compensation than someone with my background would command for that role.
• The whole shop was tense at this point. It was clear I was being pushed out.

Watch for Yourself

My boss didn’t explain. Didn’t take responsibility. Didn’t replace anything.

He gave the bike back like nothing was wrong — and then quietly started pushing me out.

I wasn’t trying to start anything. I just showed what was real.

I kept quiet as long as I could. But this crossed a line.

I owe it to my mom. And to her cat I’m taking care of.

Why I’m Sharing This

I’m not trying to cancel anyone. I’m not doing this for clout. I just need you to know the truth.

After my I lost my mom to cancer, I had been her caregiver previously.

The job was all I had left. And I lost it for doing the right thing.

If I disappear from your feed, now you know why.

What Happens Now

In Florida, eviction proceedings can start just 8 days after rent is late. And being homeless here? It’s literally illegal. I can’t just crash in my car or figure it out later.

On top of that, I’m about to lose the few remaining things I have left from my family — photos, journals, keepsakes. I know they might not look like much to anyone else, but they mean everything to me.
