I work in a document warehouse, and I’m trying to figure out if I’m a bad employee, this is a shitty environment, or if I’m just not suited to it.
It started with me being moved from one team to another. That in itself isn’t an issue, the actual work I’m doing is the same. But in the old post, I was only mostly standing in one place. I still moved a good amount, which is fine. In this new post, I’m either sitting in one spot or standing in one spot, minus breaks and lunch. Because of stress and impact injuries to my knees, I can’t stand in one spot for 8 hours every day, even with a relief mat.
There’s not actually enough tables in our area for everyone to sit, so the only option there is to show up early to reserve a table before clocking in. However, I have to do that as soon as I get to work, about half an hour before starting.
Except I was also just told today that I can’t be in the file room more than 5 minutes before clocking in. And I can’t be on my phone in the file room. I don’t have insurance right now, so I can’t go to the doctor to get documentation for my knees. Advice?? AITA?? What should I do??
