Hey I was working in a big pharmacy in my town. It's always crowded and a famous shop to buy medicines. I was passionate about block chain development, but ended up working in this pharmacy because of substance abuse problem. Nowadays I don't have any motivation to improve my life. So I thought atleast I could be useful to this pharmacy. I've quite a lot of experience managing computer networks, medicines, and pharmaceutical software stuffs.
Usually in my shop there are around 20 employees working. But when the pandemic hits, mostly every employee stayed at home. But I don't have anything important to do in my life. So I worked my ass like fire, literally multitasking. In those times I worked 15 hours straight. I did every works (Sales, Purchase, Inventory, Cleaning, Etc.) as much I could. My employer seems very satisfied by my work.
Now after pandemic faded away, the old employees and some new people started working at the pharmacy. Day by day I started to feel like I'm less important to this shop. My employer started to ask me dumb questions like why are you late?, why this work is still unfinished? Etc. which was obviously unnecessary for the situation. His behaviour completely changed after the pandemic. Even though I did what I had to do without a second thought.
But today he literally said this to me “You're not working like before. Nowadays you are only working 10 to 12 hours. Also no works seems finished. So either work for 15 hours or I have to decrease your wage”
I was like wtf? I always felt like I'm somewhat important to this business.
But now I realised how stupid I was to think like that?
Uhhh…
