My job has started to hire a lot of people and i’m on my 3rd write up. I have 5 days worth of pto and i’m trying to use them before then. I plan on putting in a two weeks as i’ve been job searching, but i don’t want to lose the PTO I earned. How do i go about using it strategically?

I have been offered the opportunity to go from 5 8s to 4 10s. What schedule would you all prefer? They are consecutive days if that matters. M-Th Is it worth it to have an extra day off? Are the days too long at 10 hours?

Does anybody have any tips as to what my first steps would be if I were trying to get a union involved at my work place?

I work 56 hours a week, with three days off a week. Those 16 hours overtime are spent sleeping in my own room at work. The other 35 out of the remaining 40 hours are spent playing videogames, watching Netflix or doing homework. The other 5 are spent taking care of the 4 autistic seniors that live in the house. They're pretty self sufficient so they don't need me too much. It's a nonprofit so benefits are awesome. Health, dental, and eye insurance. Start out with 1.5 months of vacation time a year. I make 60k a year to literally sleep and sit on my ass. I make 20k more than most CNA's (the nurse assistants who work in nursing homes). I don't do half the work, and I didn't even need an education or certification or anything to get it. These nonprofit houses exist in lots of towns across…
