Antiwork

Let me start off by saying in Texas, to be covered by the FMLA, you have to be with a company for a year. Also, Texas has the worst laws in the country for employees. I work from home. The other morning.. here is what I know part from remembering and part from looking a records on my computer. I logged in at 9:15 am. I don't have to be at work until 11:30 am. I logged in (big no no according to company rules) and sent my boss and email about a customer at 9:17. This information if what I gathered from my computer. I don't remember it. So, now, in my head I was working as per normal. Except, come to find out, I wasn't. At 1:15 is when I guess I came back to “reality” but nothing changed to me. I had believed I had been working…

The warehouse I work at has a “strict” attendance policy. It’s only strict because my supervisor is way to by the book and offers no kind of window.

I just want to feel fulfilled in my life but that's not possible since I can only do work, that I'm miserable in, in order to survive.

Bob Evans taught us, we always “treat strangers like friends and friends like family. Or so we thought. I started working at Bob Evans 4 years ago as a part time job during school. My starting wage was 8.00 an hour to host, but I was O.K. with the wage. It was my first job, and it was a pretty easy job. I eventually worked my way all the way up to 8.25 as a host (huge accomplishment, right?).
