Fed up, Fed up is what I am with this modern day slave trade that is the work world. I have been for a while now but alas like the majority of the population I have to do it to support my family. I am a self proclaimed job hopper for this very reason. I start a job with high hope, each and every time. A mental attitude of clocking in handling business and minding mine while slaving away at whatever mediocre establishment it is this time. I have done everything from food service to healthcare in my last 15 plus years in the work world. Not one of these jobs that I have had have lasted more than 2 years. Some would say that’s irresponsible and not a smart way to live. I call it survival. First it was due to having a child and wanting to do better,…


Fed up, Fed up is what I am with this modern day slave trade that is the work world. I have been for a while now but alas like the majority of the population I have to do it to support my family. I am a self proclaimed job hopper for this very reason. I start a job with high hope, each and every time. A mental attitude of clocking in handling business and minding mine while slaving away at whatever mediocre establishment it is this time. I have done everything from food service to healthcare in my last 15 plus years in the work world. Not one of these jobs that I have had have lasted more than 2 years. Some would say that’s irresponsible and not a smart way to live. I call it survival. First it was due to having a child and wanting to do better, make more money,change jobs for my mental health. My kid always came first. Teen pregnancy with no support turned me into a hustler in any way I could. Then stay at home motherhood consumed me and the world opened up.I saw the ugly side to working for a living. The time away from my kids and how that affects them. The sacrifice to their well being as well as my own. Our life spans are not very long in the grand scheme of things. Why do we work. I recently went back to work full time. Maybe 2 years now. I am already on my 3rd job in that time span. My bills are paid and I always find a way and I’m smart with saving and making moves to where I don’t rely on staying at a job. Plus the work I do I can find another job in a matter of weeks. Anyways, I say all that to say that i am about 6 months into this new job with a company that is big up in coming in a growing business. I am obviously over it already simply because of corporate bullshit, rules make no sense, patterns of firings . Not to mention that it’s corrupted by management having favorites, sleeping with each other and now I have reason to believe not only do they record us on video but the cameras may also be recording audio which is from my understanding illegal in my state. I am now at a crossroads where I don’t know whether to quit and once again trek out into the abyss of job boards or do something about all of these insane things going on in this company. At the end of the day there will be a lawsuit against this company in the near future whether it’s by me or someone else. Mentally I am fatigued and just feel like fuck work but with kids and the world we live in, I’m stuck. When will the games end
