Hi,
I've always been a quiet lurker here but this community made me realize after working 50h+ week that i wasn't paid properly and just busting my health at my job.
Ultimately the multiple warnings of my doctor came true and im now stuck with crippling cervical pain and I had to take a sick leave for it.
Ofc per the legal law of my country (eu) a good chunk of my pay is gonna be halved and on top of that my boss is planning to fire me but since he hates paying me or my coworker (we are understaffed btw we deal with around 1000 customer everyday and we are only 4 people rotating), he is trying to pressure me into quitting by myself so he doesn't have to pay me anything.
I have to work with sharp pain going through my entire body everyday for hours on end for a shit pay and intense stress till i can get my new job.
Europe isnt as much better as the US in that aspect.
I wish someday that older people will realize that it is the younger generation that will carry on most of the burden left by them and treat us better like proper human beings…
