Antiwork

Hello All, This my first post and I appreciate all the tidbits of wisdom that you all post in this subreddit. If a similar post or query was made in the past then I apologize in advance.

I started working for a field services company about 4 years ago. Early on and over the years I kept taking on other people's roles. Naively thinking that it would get me further ahead with the company. There was a person who worked for them in IT for about 10 years before I joined. He quit to start his own business without training the next person. When I arrived I was asked to fill his role. I was yelled at constantly, expected to deliver without any training. All I had was some log in passwords to the servers and I had to figure out the rest myself. And oh yeah I was expected to do field work as well. Fast forward to this month. I've completely taken over the role and much more. Brought their system to modern standards while flying and driving all over the country. I ask to…
