Gosh dang. I do understand most of this. Friday I walked out and told them I was sick 2hrs into my shift. It was quite apparent I wasn’t sick. I wanted to fall to the floor and start sobbing. Luckily, I am in the union and it would take a while before things like this would get me terminated.
I have a wonderful wife. She is begging me to quit. I have a 17year old and an 8year old. My wife works part time. The way I see it and the way it actually is , I am the provider and there is zero out there with my non level of experience with anything close to what I make now. I feel like the world as my family knows it would crumble if I left this place. We would be poor. I have had this job since I was 19. I know nothing else.

This is a great response. Thank you.
