I'm 25. I have my own 2 bedroom place and a car. I pay my way, I don't have debt, I'm responsible in the areas I need to be. Work constantly treats me like a child and it's really ruining my mental stability, to the point it's directly affecting everyone at work. I constantly check my phone for the time, because I just hate being there and our clock doesn't work. For that, I am constantly accused of texting and getting reprimanded every other day. I use the bathroom “too frequently” that it's basically become a workplace joke, I drink a lot of coffee because my sleep is becoming such an issue that I'm waking up hours ahead of time without falling back to sleep and being awake for 18+ hours straight, daily. Of course, I'm gonna pee a few times in a day. It's somewhat been implied that I'm doing something sketchy in the bathroom. No one else gets told for being upwards of 20 minutes in the bathroom. I've been yelled at for tying my boots while sitting on my bench. I got told I can't be trusted and was met with no answer when I asked why. I've never stolen, hurt anyone or ruined anything in my 14 months of being there. I get interrogated constantly for taking a day off every other month because I just can't do this shit anymore. I've recently taken a week off work to do a work trial elsewhere, and I'm even hating that on my 3rd day. I'm just gonna quit my apprenticeship, even though I'm almost finished. I've had the worst experience as an apprentice and I'm even beginning to regret it. I've been earning less than minimum wage for years and I've managed to make it by, but I can't handle this type of treatment anymore. I'm a fucking tax paying adult and I get treated like a toddler for the silliest things that no one else gets told off for, when they're repeat and worse offenders. I even got told off for standing at the clock off station for a minute ONE TIME. What am I gonna produce in 1 minute? After that, I overheard my manager say that I had done this “a couple of times now”. I don't know where to go for a new job, but the trade industry has honestly made me despise the work day and ruined my mental health and finances. 8 hours is far too long, I feel like I've been there for double the time. I never sleep, I never even get assigned to anything, I don't get trained, I barely get paid, and I get treated with 0 dignity. They wonder why I have “such a bad attitude”. You've all given me no reason to have any motivation or care for my job. I've even had the nerve to TELL THEM to sack me.
