Burner Account for obvious reasons
So I landed this gig at the local shipping yard, right? With my usual supervisor out sick on medical leave for a bit, I was under this dude, “D”. Man, D didn't like me one bit, probably heard I knew some stuff from a past job. Maybe even more than he did, and that got under his skin. Who knows but he's a real dick.
First day? Madness. They just threw me in, no heads-up or anything. Tried using what I knew from before, but things here? Totally whack. Made a few mistakes, but did D help? Nah, just shouted and made a whole scene. I'm here like, “Seriously?!”
And then D's spreading all this crap about me to his buddies. Every other day, some new rumor. Dude's got a real talent for that. I'm out here just trying to work, but with D? Feels like I'm back in high school with all the drama.
The shifts are all over the place. Some weeks I'm living there, other weeks barely getting hours. And when payday hits? My overtime's just… missing? Awesome.
They got me doing jobs that need like 3-4 people. I'm beat, but saying anything? Just brings more shit from D and his minions. Even got sick once, showed them a Dr. note and everything. D's there, acting all high and mighty, saying I'm faking and docking my pay. Yeah, that’s something a grown adult does.
Welp, found out they're trying to squeeze more work out of us without paying extra. No clue where that is coming from though. Feels like a slap in the face.
But I can't just leave, right? Bills to pay, and jobs ain’t easy to find.
Honestly? Some days I wish they'd just fire me. At least then I could collect unemployment while hunting for a job that doesn’t treat me like garbage.
Thanks for hearing me out. It's been tough.
