I’ve been commuting for my job for almost a year. I used to live anout 14 miles from work, but due to a bad housing situation, I had to move back to my hometown. Now I drive on one of the nation’s most dangerous freeways 5 days a week. At first I didn’t mind the drive, until I got into a head on wreck 3 months ago. Now I can’t stand being on the road and it’s getting to be too much on my mental health.
I’ve been wanting to leave this job for a while anyway. I was making $20/hr at first but got demoted after about a month over a small mistake. I’m a part of the management team and the environment is extremely toxic. There are also a lot of legal issues involved regarding payroll and hours of operation, and it’s just overall shady and I’m miserable.
