I work for a small juice company. The past two weeks have been actual hell. I had my card stolen and it's taking until next week for my new one to arrive. While thats happening my cars subframe bent while driving to work.
Because I dont have a physical card it made getting a car rental very difficult. So i told my boss id come in late tomorrow. (Realistically I shouldn't come in at all after the stress spike this is explained further down). They asked why I was showing up late after asking for more hours and it seemed like if i needed more hours I needed to be more reliable. It brought me to the verge of tears cause this job is an hour commute for me already.
I'll be frank. This job is nice compared to other college student jobs available to me it pays 15$ an hour. However we only work like 10 hours a week. So i barely scrape by even with my parents covering my rent. Im considering a food pantry because i need to cut costs somehow.
Im disabled with seizure disorder (among other things) and this is one of the few jobs that isnt strenuous enough to trigger my seizures. So I can't just quit unfortunately. I'm looking for other jobs quietly as I do this one since I get the hunch they don't even want my job title/ position to really even be employed. It seems that they want a machine to take over what our job is. (Bottle washing lol)
I have never tried so hard to be at a job and they take me for granted. A team of 3 people process all of the glass bottles for the entire company (I am one of them) and then proceed to kick me while i'm down with seemingly no sympathy. If you want your unpasteurized juice clean so bad pay us more and give us more benefits. Its not hard. I'm considering starting a 3 person union just to piss them off. We control everything by being the ones processing all the bottles.
Im pissed.
