Antiwork

For 12$ an hour…

I build between 50-60 pieces of furniture by hand, every day. I smashed my finger today so hard I'll probably lose my fingernail. Friday I stapled through another finger. I'm tired all the time. My whole body hurts. I have no insurance, no paid time off. I'm burnt out, mentally and physically. I'm 34. This can't be it. I physically cannot do it much longer. If I'm hurt and can't work, my family is ruined. I have 2 teenage sons, a car payment, rent… My life is constant stress and physical pain. I want to give up but I can't. My boys need me. I'm so sorry for the pity party, but I feel so overwhelmed today.
