due to my medical conditions I was unable to finish my college degree so I cannot get hired at any normal office positions as most of it in my city require minimum undergrad degree. I don’t want to be NEET so I’m working at a second hand bookshop as cashier/mover/graphic designer/staff. As the title says I earn 20 yuan an hour, and in this city you need at least 5000 yuan a month to survive (without any kind of pensions). I’m currently living with my parents cuz I couldn’t afford to live alone.
I work 6-9 hour a day about 15-20 days a month. It doesn’t sound much but my job HAS NO BREAK TIME. I have maximum 20 mins to finish my lunch and that’s it. I need to face costumers and do the heavy labor job at same time. People are not very kind here so the cashier part is a huge mental and physical stress to me. The labor job is already taking tolls on me, I cannot stand straight anymore, every movement hurts. We don’t have ac nor heater nor ventilations, the city is under extreme heat and I have passed out in the shop before. This is just so draining and I don’t think I can take it anymore.
I know my situation is better than sweat shop workers and people who does 996 but I seriously cannot take it anymore. I want to die
