So, I worked for a fairly large national company for a number of years. I relocated to be a “team player”, worked alone for about six months, worked while on PTO to ensure that the jobs got done.

Racked up a ton of OT because of poor scheduling and required travel that sometimes had me working 20 hour shifts. Once Worked 25 hours straight and then got blamed when things went wrong.

More often than not I'd have to rearrange my life to accomodate working hours for late/over night jobs and then have to turn around the next morning to do another on a few hours sleep.

I also had to, more often than not, drive hours away to sites to accomodate do a job then immediately drive hours back, then work early the next day.

TLDR: I worked way to much and was then let go because the employer was overpaying me for my services.

Some employers just don't care.
