I work more overtime than anyone here. I make about fifteen dollars less at a new entry level position in a new industry so that fine, because I need the training. I’m in manufacturing. My boss hired someone else on a whim as a favor to do MY entry level job and has made me redundant. She is taking opportunities from me and works less hours than I do. I manage a child(single mom), household of pets, community service(voluntary not like as punishment), and put in more hours than anyone but the boss’s son. I get that he did someone a favor and I love to see other women in this industry, but HOLY CRAP do I get flack for things I am not in control of or encouraged to do better when I’m constantly performing at my best for longer than anyone else there. I study at home for higher maths to do better at my job, I’m learning new industry related skills in my off time. I do all the maintenance and cleaning as well as working on operations. Your effort is stupid. Don’t try hard because NO ONE will reward you. I feel so stupid because I love my job and my coworkers but why would someone make me redundant and then make me fight for opportunities when I’m the only one putting in as much effort as I am?
I feel sick and I punched a wall and maybe fractured my hand. Fuck capitalism.
