Need help for meeting with District Manager

A couple days ago I sent my manager and district manager an email stating I was unhappy with my job and the stress is getting to me. He responded saying we can talk more in person this Thursday. One of my biggest gripes is that management overbooks the techs and if we fall behind management tells us to complete minimum of X jobs (ya know to meet production quotas…) yet management has stated we shouldn't be working overtime. So when they want us to work overtime we must work. It really pisses me off how they assume we have no lives out of work. Any tips on phrasing, I am not the best at it

He was saying “so what's this I hear about her quitting?” And shift lead says “I didn't have anything to do with that”. AND GM SAYS…

From now on, that’s my response when they ask me how long any projects will take. At least until I get my raise. Bastards.

Restaraunt Management Killed My Soul

This is gonna be a long read, and I’m not even sure if this is the right place to post it, so thanks in advance if you take the time. I spent almost 20 years, basically my entire adult life, working for one of those national chain style pizzerias. I worked my way up from just answering phones, to delivering, assistant management, and eventually to general manager. Along the way, I learned the technical aspects of the job (Making pizzas, handling inventory, working with and for my crew) and the practical aspects (Putting up with coworkers you can’t stand because you need the bodies, overlooking the horror stories that come from other stores, finding creative ways around your owner asking [read: telling] you to do something super shady.) but I never really learned how to budget myself as a person so that I had the time to enjoy all the…
