I worked a production job for low pay since last October, wasn’t trained to do it properly so I had to teach and learn myself. I was doing the work of 2 people with a triple increase in the amount of product demanded since I started. It took them till May to hire me on as fulltime, and only gave me a $1 raise with shift times that were constantly being changed without anybody telling me. OSHA violations were everwhere, no ear plugs or eye pro anywhere. The stress from work actually made me have a panic attack last month, and it made me realize how much I don’t need that in my life.
When I quit the manager was offended even though I apologized for doing it so suddenly. Probably because they don’t hire anybody.
Now I have a Union job lined up. I feel like a weight has been taken off of my shoulders.
