Antiwork

I just picked up a job doing overnight order picking for a big box store. The schedule I agreed to do was 2:00am-10:30am. There is a shift differential of $1.00 to work this shift, which is the only way I would elect to do the job. Otherwise, in my opinion the pay is too low. They had me come in from 1pm-5pm Friday for orientation. Said my first shift would be immediately that next morning at 2am. Had a great shift, really loved the job and the work is relatively easy. Next shift immediately after? 7am-3:30pm. Not only is this the opposite of my sleep schedule that I've now trained myself for (to prepare for the 2am shift), but I don't even make the money I am supposed to be making because there is no shift differential. Ended up going in after trying to sleep for a poor 4 hours…

I would rather chase sustainable income but also even then always updating my resume and applying to new positions because they really don't care about you!!!!!

So I work at Walmart a couple days a week. I struggle with anxiety, depression, ADHD, and physical difficulty due to a surgery on my spinal cord four years ago (which I discussed with them upon hiring).. with all that, two days and occasionally a third day is about what I can handle. Due to “a shortage of available hours” I recently have been getting scheduled only one day on some weeks. At least that's the best explanation I can get – I asked my manager why I wasn't still getting two days every week and he said “oh you do a good job, we wouldn't take hours off your schedule without saying something to you first, I'll make sure we get you back on those days” ….which clearly isn't true because nothing changed so I'm now I'm twice as anxious about trying to ask them about it. Anyway… This…

I'm encouraged to look for work, but with only being allowed 14 hours a week or earning a maximum of 120 a week, nobody is going to want to hire me for that. Why is it made so difficult to better myself, why trap me like this? I want to work but they make it so hard.
