I am looking for any advice (other than quitting.) The company that I work for acquired another company last year and started moving Associates from that location to my location. There are a million things that they have done wrong with this merger.
Employees from this other facility are being bussed to our location (40ish minutes away from their previous facility). I think they pay $30 a month for this service. This equates to nowhere and tear on their vehicle, not having to pay for gas, and if for some reason the bus is late, they aren't given any points or consequences.
The employees from this facility were given jobs that were similar to the jobs they had before. I work in quality and the people that we got in my department are often unable to handle the workload.
The people from this facility were making several dollars an hour and the rest of us and they were also given their pay, seniority and vacation. I had to train several people personally that were making at least $2.50 an hour more than I was. We were recently given a cost of living raise that they weren't supposed to get in order to bring us up to the level that they were being paid only to find out that those employees also got this raise so they are all still making more money than I am.
I work on second shift and there are two people on first shift and two people on third splitting the work during the week and weekends and I am forced to do all of it myself with no help. We were working 7 days a week for close to a year and they have recently changed it so we work 13 days and then have one day off but they ask for volunteers on that 14th day off and if anyone volunteers I have to come. I have been working 6 or 7 days a week for the past year and it's getting to the point that I have no time for myself anymore, no time to go anywhere or spend time with my family, have to work on holidays and I am too tired when I get out of work to do anything and end up sleeping the entire day. I am just looking for any advice for how to deal with this and how to keep going on because it's getting very hard. I feel like I have no will to live anymore because all of my time is spent at work.
