I have been working for Honda (Ohio auto plant)as a “temp to hire” for the past 5 months. I make $18.25 an hour. The job is Title is MRO( Maintenance Repair Operations) the job itself is a lot of heavy lifting, forklift operation, driving, managing inventory.. ect(warehouse work) It can makes for grueling 8 hour days. The job itself has taken a large toll on my mental health. Here resecently they have installed mandatory overtime because the higher ups “have failed to hire people to count for the up coming audit”. This is usually done by people hired on for a seasonal position to do the counting starting right after the plants winter shutdown. This year was different they dropped on us that the count would be done by us instead and they only notified us three weeks before the audit. This overtime is not tagged on to the end of a shift but in lew of one day off. At this point I am near a breaking point. I have bills to pay,but I know I would be fine if I just walked off the job today. I am struggling because of my anxiety with finally making the decision. Not having money coming in for a while would be bad seeing as I am American so I have no savings because living paycheck to paycheck is cool. I know hypothetically I could have the temp place find me something else or go back to my old job working security for less money. I don't know.
TLDR. I make $18.25 an hour at a job that now has mandatory overtime working six days a week. At a job that is a ton of work and puts a strain on my mental health. Should I walk out.
