Ik this sounds pretty bad but all my call offs of this one year have been in the last 7 months. Since I started doing a trade school at night for welding. Having basically two jobs on my shoulder and the 14 hour days doesn't help. But I just called off this morning because Ive realized my company doesnt care for me either.
We were severely understaffed for the first 9 months. And when we did hire 4 new employees. I found out they all started at a higher pay rate than me. Despite the merit raise I've gotten. They're still making more. It's getting to me that I'm training lazy people that sit on their phone for a good 2 hours of the day at a physically demanding job just for them to make more. The only reason I've stayed is because I wanted to get into the welding booth at my current company after I graduated my schooling. But I'm starting to feel like I would just get screwed over pay-wise over there too.
