Antiwork

I was supposed to be FT, asked to be bumped to PT if I couldn’t handle it, now being ignored and I can’t take much more.

I am autistic and struggle with a ton of issues overall, but I struggle with the amount of time I work. I was supposed to work Part time but the manager asked me to be full time since someone quit unexpectedly. I told her I'm a bit uncomfy, but I'll try to do it and if it becomes too much I'd tell her. Well, of course, I got burnt out. And fast. Worked Tuesday to Sunday, 4 or so of those days being 10 hours. I told her it felt like to much on my body (I am Cronically ill, not just “lazy” like some like to say) and maybe we can try 2 days on, 2 off, 2 on so she'd still have a FT person. She agreed. That never happened. She'd put me 2 on, 1 off, 3+ on. Told her finally my therapist is heavily suggesting I…

That never happened. She'd put me 2 on, 1 off, 3+ on. Told her finally my therapist is heavily suggesting I bump to PT before I have the urge to quit and go elsewhere. I have text proof of the communication and she was willing to but asked to finish up the current schedule at the time (2 weeks ago now) and 3ish schedules in, and I'm FT still, working 4+ days in a row. I don't want to leave, but I expressed my concerns and gave solutions. I told at the beginning what would happen if I became overworked and it's now being ignored. I was up until 6 or 7am last night/today throwing up and she's unhappy that I don't want to work with a migraine and a fever. Said I'd have every other weekend off and no one gets holidays off yet she gets every weekend and holiday off..but when she works she sits in the back room and only helps if it's absolutely needed. Maybe I just need to vent, but I hate this. I can't find decent work. I'm looking at 10 an hour at best unless I have a doctorate or nursing degree. Otherwise I'm screwed. Can't find an office job near me, can't work in a factory as my body physically can't handle it. I feel so stuck.
