Antiwork

I was feeling like crap and went back and forth as to whether I should suck it up and go in, but I was sick and exhausted, so after careful contemplation, I called off. I even looked at the schedule and made sure that they were going to be fine before I pulled the trigger. I’m not used to taking care of myself or calling in. I went to work one time straight after being discharged from the hospital…But the last couple of years have shown me, that this industry will suck you dry if you let it…and it supports and encourages burnout even tho they’ve had every opportunity to change the way it operates.

I'm sure this has been addressed to nauseum but I really would like to get some feedback to my specific situation and I have just a few precious moments to do so. I have bee working for my wife's father for going on over eight years now and I simply cannot handle it anymore. My health has been rapidly declining because of the stress at my job and the routine 10-12+ hours shifts that I routinely work.
