Antiwork

So, I decided to do my taxes today..

And I'm wondering why I bother to work at all. I just found out that my work has been taking money out of my check for an HSA that I declined, and not taking out the proper state taxes. Lost about a $1,000 to the HSA and owe about $1,000 in state taxes. Oh, happy day! At least they took out enough for the Federal Taxes, not enough to get much of anything back, but at least I don't owe the feds and it'll put the tiniest scratch into what I lost/owe. (2,000 is kind of a lot for me) I knew my bosses hated me, but good lord! I give them 50 hours a week of top tier electro-mechanical work. (technician and engineering duties) Not a single thing I've done has ever gotten even one hit from the quality control department, I beat the recomended labor times by 5…

Not a single thing I've done has ever gotten even one hit from the quality control department, I beat the recomended labor times by 5 to 10 hours a piece and they pay me like it's 1982. The benefits package is a joke. The owner is literally raking in millions while I, and every other employee live paycheck to paycheck, just watching our debt grow. (Every day I have a home made cup of tea for breakfast, a pb&j with water for lunch, dinner is usually at least decent. Point being, I count every penny.)

Sorry for not being a suck up? No I'm not, they don't treat the suck ups any better, in fact, sometimes they get it worse.

So tired.. So angry.. No one is interested in starting a union or striking, they all just seem so defeated.

This mess so isn't worth it. If I didn't have people that relied on me, I'd have disappeared into the woods ages ago. Unfortunately for them, I'm just about out of having anything left to give, including my time, so who knows. (I wouldn't be abandoning any children, I don't have any)

I did all the things right, I did everything I was always told to do.. I did the things.. I did all the things.. I'm 31 and so done.. sorry for the rant and thanks for reading! I'm going to go curl up in a ball now.
