More often then not I’m asked to work 10 hours days, no time to stop for a break, and 30 minute lunch break if I’m lucky. I was doing Fencing for 10-12 hour days.

It’s exhausting and as someone who was diagnosed autistic two months ago as an adult, I’m realizing how toxic this place is for my mental health. It’s not a good fit at all. He’s asked me blatantly on the sales floor why I can’t be like my coworkers who…

I work in a full service auto shop and management has just informed us that if our numbers do not increase we will not be allowed to shut our garage doors. It is currently 24°F outside and I am anemic so I lose heat faster than one normally would. Would this be considered unsafe working conditions? Can they really not allow us to close the garage doors for the entirety of the day?
