Antiwork

tired of being overworked

I work in manufacturing on night shift. On day shift, the machine I'm running has two techs assigned to it. One for prepping and post-process cleanup of parts, and one to operate and monitor the machine. On night shift it is just me. By myself The only way to get the production numbers they want is to move so fast you can barely pay attention to what you're doing. (If you make a mistake you get treated like you're incompetent though) Somehow dayshift gets away with only moving 2/3 – 3/4 of the volume that I do (with a much higher reject rate), yet whenever my productivity dips even a little I'm treated like I sat on my ass all day. How do I explain to my boss that I'm not going to continue doing 2 jobs for the pay of one much longer?
