In a crashpad you will probably end up sleeping with 6+ people in a single room. this company isn't a family. there's 2 family's in this company. those that have been here for 15+ years and those that haven't. the senior people always have a way to belittle you and make sure you have a bad day. that's just how it is and it's not going to change.
You should probably leave then. No one around here needs people like you. Maybe you should support new hires so your lifestyle will improve. You wont get out of the "most junior base" without having pilots below you.
There are jobs out there waiting for you that you might just find pride in. You need to go search for them.
