Antiwork

So I overheard a conversation between my boss and my coworker…

She was about to clock out to go on a lunch break and he stopped her. He said that since we are so short staffed we no longer get breaks. If things are quiet we can have a “standing break” meaning standing at the desk and staring at a wall I guess. The thing is we work 9 hours a day without sitting. I often use the bathroom because my feet hurt so much I just want to sit for a second. I told them I use the bathroom so much because I was told to double my water intake.

You’re so short staffed you need to over work your current employees until you’re even more short staffed? It doesn’t make sense. Also this same boss is going on vacation in 3 days and gets to sit all day and then gets mad at us if our posture isn’t perfect. He gets unlimited PTO and we get 4-5 days a year… we work like 45-50 hours a week too and are required to work weekends. I haven’t seen my family in so long.

I’m so tired.
