Hey everyone, I need someone to talk to about this. I've been being exploited at my job, and I'm finally over it. I've kept at it for too long, because the pay has been alright and I'm a sucker for momentum.
But I work 7 days a week with frequent 12 hour shifts, only getting every 3rd weekend off and can call off a maximum of 12 days without getting fired. I'm not allowed to have my phone here, so I can't check in on my family while I spend sometimes 70 hours a week here. It's killing my brain being here every day, and killing the rest of my life missing so much.
You guys have finally inspired me to do something about it. When my boss comes in on Monday, I'm gonna talk with him about a position that gets days off, and if he can't promise me that, I'm putting in my 2 weeks. I honestly don't know why I've been feeling this oppressed, been rooting for people here to make their lives better, and am only now even considering doing something about it.
