She says that showing up that early helps her “get ahead”… in the minimum wage job that he’s held for 4+ years. She feels like it makes our boss think more highly of her, but he agrees that it’s pointless and kind of sad. I will never understand why she wastes her time like this.

He poluted the water table (ground water) badly near his business with iron + the water was shit in the area to start with
They couldn’t even call him…

Hang in there or quit?

I didn’t complain about this and took it on but my productivity slowed and my mistakes have increased with the additional meetings, correspondence, and tasks. My boss noticed this and called me out for it but I told her I’m struggling with balancing this workload, I don’t have a job description and am very scattered accross almost all…
