Now I'm at the point where doctors are telling me to avoid pain relief pills so four days out of seven are usually just shit. Makes life harder then it should be.

Frontend complexity went through the roof in the last ten years and compared to desktop software (not geocities) our developer tools and end results are not that great (ymmv).
But that's just my personal opinion, after fifteen years of web development and growing up along the c64 - 286 - pentium road, debugging in Watcom and fooling around in Turbo Vision.
I kinda tolerate gnome 3 (despite its marvellously obvious flaws) for now and if I find it way too annoying, I'll rip it out and use fluxbox or smg similarly low level wm.
First you may want to experience your feelings (you feel hurt, vulnerable, angry), but then try to understand what made you angry. Maybe you have an inner need for contribution and the other person states that instead of contributing, you made something terribly stupid (from his point of view) so you feel hurt.
And then, think about the abusive manager in this case. what may he feel, what may be his needs? Isn't is possible that he felt ashamed because he needed stability, but that need was undermined during his presentation?
Most of these are in the presentation in a form or another, but in fact this is a mediating thechnique by Marshall Rosenberg, called NVC. Anyway, take your time. Don't be ashamed to look into your heart. This is easier said than done, but it's possible to get better in it.
I do feel that I get value for my money and with the yearly fee I get all the updates (which are important in the ever changing world of web development), but sometimes it still feels like protection racket.
You can tell someone to stop fretting about something - but probably a good psychologist is a better way to hear these pieces of advice, not to mention how we are bombarded by advertisments and beliefs in our everyday life that go against the message of "don't fret".
Twitter came up with the ui framework "Bootstrap" long ago and it was a game changer for responsive frontend layouts.
But it really depends on the company, I worked in both scenarios. Sometimes I can't broker a better deal or find a better company and again, a good team or an exciting project may make up for dickhead management and their paranoid lack of trust.
It's not as uncommon as it sounds and I'm in fact fine with it, but by the end of the week I feel quite tired. I quit my current place but there only the employer firm had access to the card timesheet data, which felt wrong to me... it was a stinky company anyway. Too bad I'll miss the guys, the team was pretty good.
I couldn't care less for the huge image in the popup layer, scrollability and extra content would be much nicer.
