Month: August 2022

Worked logistics for 15+ years both non union and union recently accepted a new position in a manufacturing environment and 3 months in I absolutely hate it. Every working day is like a cloud of dread on my commute. Thinking about resigning but to be honest I don't want to go through all the hoops of applying, test, assessments, interviews etc for a new job and the current job I have my spouse also works at. This is a non union position, pays $100k+ has a jacked up 4 on 4 off flip 4 on 4 off schedule. Anyone have any advice? I have to work for my mental and emotional health or I get myself into trouble.

I'm working a gas station job and many of the amenities I had a month ago when working has been taken because of one person abusing it by not doing anything but cash people out. I'm paid 11.80 and the manager claims we're lucky for that. Audi's is the same distance away and pays 50% more for the same job that I've been doing, plus union, plus benefits.
