Antiwork

I want to call in for a mental health day and I feel like so many jobs, esp in healthcare, there is so much guilt in calling in even when you’re actually sick!

I’m at my wits end here with my job. I constantly get scheduled 75+ hours a week and I am beyond burnt out. Will it ruin my future job prospects if I quit without notice and a new job calls my old manager?

[Mostly just a vent] So, today my manager got aggro towards me for getting a drink. He had sent myself and two other members of staff outside to try and pull more people into the store. One of these staff members of pregnant and had been having pains – still had to go outside. I needed a drink, so went to a shop a couple of doors down, and was only about 30 seconds-1 minute overall because it was very quiet. Manager came out just as I got back and started bitching me out because I hadn't asked him, I said I'll bear it in mind next time.

Also I only get one 20 minute break/lunch per day and I can’t go to my car without permission and at the end of week one I was told I can’t keep doing that. I start working and I’m basically just loading trucks. About a week in and they tell me that I’m actually not…

I am in Spain, and I work at a special employment center, in the marketing department. Even as much possible leeway they can offer me to sort of not feel as much as a toxic work environment, it still IS a toxic work environment, and I'm tired of it. I can never start a day without the pressure to work on stuff that I don't even enjoy doing, with all this marketing nonsense and database bullshit. I have been studying game development, art and other more creative endeavors and never they have ever used such a skillset of mine. Even then, I am not compensated financially for my work for over 10 years, with a below minimum wage even, because of the silly old excuse that I'm not working “hard” enough, even though every time I work “hard” enough I feel exhausted as hell and have to air off for…
