I work as a seamstress for a small manufacturing company. It is a 3rd generation business, the current owner is running it into the ground. He gets drunk sometimes at work. He fired an employee who was putting in their 3 week notice so now we are even more short staffed. He won't fire his project manager who just sits in his office and does nothing all day.
The owner tried to pressure me to work in the cutting department since he fired his other employee. I felt really pushed to accept, he even said he was trying to stroke my ego to get me to say 'yes'. It felt really manipulative. I left work Thursday afternoon after having a panic attack, and haven't been back yet. They would really hurt if they lost me. I am the only seamstress there that does repairs, and I have a decades worth of sewing experience. I'm just feeling burnt out and over it. I'm tired of shitty bosses/owners.
