So I'm the store manager at a rather crappy gas station. I make okayish money but am on a set salary that requires me to work minimum of 52 hours a week and only be paid for 40 technically. Originally it didn't sound too bad and the money made me content for a little while. Now I am 10 months in and it's Hell. I rarely see my family and when I am at home, I'm too tired to do anything and just wanna sleep or finish chores. Our DM treats all of his managers like slaves. I get calls day and night, doesn't matter if I have the day off or what's going on, he wants me to do things for work or cover shifts. For example, he texts me at 9pm telling me he needs a third shift covered for a store thats not even mine and it needs to happen “now.” I feel like I'm in prison. He's recently made me his go-to person to demand things from. The last girl in my position is now on disability for severe anxiety and depression due to the job and the pressure. I'm actively looking for something new and am hoping I get a call soon. We also have a rabid wolf spider nest in the mop closet and the regional manager sits at home watching cameras all day. She calls it “watching gas station TV”. She thinks it's funny to watch us and call if we sit down too long. We're allowed no breaks and no lunches. This is completely legal here in Michigan. I'm just tired and needed to vent. Things suck right now and I'm tired. I miss my husband and my baby.
