It is absolute torture to wake up so early and start work. I haven’t worked a 9-5 role since before COVID started and that was only for 3 months until the virus made jobs not come to work. It’s been almost 4 months since I’ve been working here.
I barely get any sleep and I am too exhausted to work. I can’t even think clearly while working. I sometimes just stare and zone out. Some of my co workers live more than an hour away commute. Imagine that back and forth to work. Luckily it is only 2 days a week in person and the rest it is remote.
Culture of a corporate setting is terrible. Why are there so many higher ups it is like a pyramid scheme. I have to get permission for everything like I am a little kid. My manager acts like she knows everything. The pay for her role isn’t even that far from mine and she’s been working there for about 7 years. The last person who worked under her said that she’s pushy and intimidating. He said he felt like cursing her out and honestly I feel the same too. The company preaches about handling stress and getting enough sleep but when there’s an emergency they make you work back to back 12 hour shifts.
What should I do?
