i posted yesterday about my situation at work, how when i started my job i was offered a sign on bonus. $500 every quarter. i just finished my first quarter, and didn't receive my bonus. my coworker just got hers a couple of weeks ago. i came in today with the intention of talking to hr about my missing bonus, to find out the hr coordinator was replaced again last monday. the new hr coordinator will likely have no idea what i'm talking about. i decided i was going to have a chat with her anyway. i go to her office as soon as i come in, and there's nobody there. apparently all the important employees are having a party meanwhile my team is working our asses off today. i believe my boss is under medical leave for her blood pressure, and her right hand man is absent today. i've had 3 panic attacks and broke down crying in my office today because i'm so exhausted from my labor being exploited and never getting any benefit from it. i have no health insurance, my pay barely covers my bills, my mental health is tanking. i don't know how to get through today without quitting. i don't want to keep suffering here. i want to go home and be with my dog. i want to have time to enjoy myself. i want to go back to school. i want to make art and listen to music and have a social life. i've sacrificed all this and more for $15/hr.
