I work for a major autoglass company, and I have only been a technician for a little over half a year. I enjoy the work of what I do, and the pay is good, benefits are semi lacking but better than other jobs I have had. I am working hard so my wife can get her Vetrenary Doctorate, so I am very much needing the money.
Recently, management has been pushing more work on me than I can handle. I feel as if I can not do the work safely and meet the amount of work put on me. I brought this issue up with my manager, who up until recently I had a good amount of respect for. I was told that after being a technician for 1 year, this amount of work is expected. Again, I have only been doing this for a little more than 7 months. This is also paired with him weaponizing jobs that I struggled on, or did a poor job on. He throws these jobs that I struggled on in my face and saying that I need to do better. I even have told him that I don't feel comfortable working in the dark because we are given nothing for lighting, and I am told I just need to figure it out.
I am at my witts end and debating on switching stores and just sucking it up and driving 45 minutes to a different store just to not be around him or leaving. I am just not sure what to do and am looking for any advice on navigating the situation. He still acts buddy buddy with everyone, but I can not approach him with anything because my anxiety is so bad that he will blow up at me. And we have gotten in shouting matches before because he altered my hours and punched me out for lunches I never took.
What should I do?
