Antiwork

I’ve been in various customer service jobs for almost twenty years now. Currently working for a small business that will fire customers and back me up when they are despicable. Despite that, I just can’t take it anymore. It’s undignified. I’m awake at 4AM from sheer adrenaline anticipating the verbal abuse and ignorance. My mental health is in shambles yet again. My will to participate in society is almost zero. Yesterday, a woman went ballistic on me because I denied her a credit extension on a product we sell because she was simply not approved.

This job is destroying my life I’ve only been there for 6 months and I can’t sleep or eat when I’m out of work I regularly have panic attacks when I’m home, I can’t even enjoy my time off of work. It’s the busy season so we are expected to work 6 days a week until the end of April and idk…
