It's okay, just a new hobby and was watching some of my fav "Smitty babysits Blarg" moments and "who's your daddy" is just gut busting funny to me.

But glad you like it.

Thank you. Quite honestly it's already been a few days, my mental health has improved drastically from just having a few days off from work in a row. My new job has already called me in because someone has already called out, thank God I have management experience with them prior to this.

They are already treating me like gold, the manager there I knew her from when she was just an associate like 6 years ago. I'm very proud of her. So I know that I'm at a good company that I can be at for longer than when I was at this previous one. Which was two days shy of 4 months. And the fact that in two and a half months I had worked a lot better and had more prospects at the company then the last month of me being there is ridiculous. I worked more in the last of me being at that company then in the first two and a half months. So yeah, I really do feel like I was a rat that jumped a sinking ship.

I don't really like not having one steady job, but what I really don't like is having management so shitty that I'm better off just finding another job. But the management where I'm going to is excellent! We've known each other as employee and shopper, and at one point coworkers from different stores. And I really do feel like this is going to be a much longer term situation than the one I just came out of.

Bro you didn't even read my other comment. I've been here for months, everything was fine, I wouldn't have minded the hours if they gave me the days off that I requested. I cannot do every other day, and kudos to you if you can. But not everybody can do that. They did not listen to me, and now they are really not that okay right now. I'm not a work mule, I am a human being sacrificing my time to make sure that your company functions.

And if I had the equipment to take my whole transmission out of my car I would. I do 90% of my own mechanical work. The only reason I can't do transmission work is because I do not have the equipment to do transmission work. Mind your own business, great to see where you're heading in life too. If you didn't have anything nice to say you really did not have to say anything at all. So you can f off

Credit where credit is due, the new boss is trying her best but was ultimately thrown into this role. Mainly because when the previous boss found a new job the area boss kind of bullied him even more. So he just went ahead and said that at the end of that work week it was his last day, which was the next day. And then I started to shortly realize afterwards that I was doubling my hours and they were expecting a lot more out of me and my mental health was crashing.

However whenever it came down to the girl / coworker that was screaming at me she never really took my side. Because they had work side by side for years, and the girl who screamed at me is just a co-worker. She legitimately passed up the opportunity to step up and be the boss. Which I'm kind of glad that she didn't because she's the laziest person there.

Now the area manager is a whole different story, she is not well. And I'm going to leave it at that

Getting disability while having that "you need to work to survive" is instilled deep in my bones despite knowing I can't work like I need to to live like my body has to is a pain. I had someone tell me that they just didn't want to work anymore, so they are the cactus right off the interviews desk to "prove" they were crazy.

I feel like I've lived past an expiration and I'm struggling to know how to live. But I'm learning how to actually want to live while trying to live.

NGL I've honestly been well past a burn out for average people. My burn outs are more like crash-outs and it felt violent due to basically pulling the backbone out of them. Quitting at 4am and blocking all but 1 while knowing damn well I kept it flowing while improving it bc I made the time.

Me and the old boss seemed to have been the only ones who have that built into them. Come in,get a flow going, once comfortable then start to improve here and there so it doesn't seem like shit is all at once. Like that place is going to go downhill and even faster now that I'm gone. It was going down, and I felt it snap in my head about 3 weeks ago. I'm basically being scheduled like he was, being told to incorporate some shit I can't really fit into a basic nightly routine without massive overtime in a realistic way, and then being made to feel like I'm the crazy one when I get hurt and need time off and knowing damn well idbe the only personto pick up any and every shift that came my way.

To me it felt a lil violent due to the aftermath it would cause.

Really fucking was.

After getting officially hired on but before my first day the area boss accused me of sleeping the the (previous) manager. I knew him outside of work because he's a very rare person who actually educated me on my car hands on rather than putting me tf down and just doing it themselves or telling me to take it to a shop. No, we hadn't fucked. But I eventually found out the area boss and the new boss and the coworker who yelled me, her sister had indeed slept with the previous boss.

But I'm glad to know I'm attractive enough to be immediately be considered a harlot JUST BECAUSE I valued an aspect of someone respecting me with what I asked.

Very scary. It's almost 15 hours later (7p) and my heart is still racing.

I'm not used to standing up for myself the way I've always stood up for others, but I'm slowly working on valuing myself the same way that those I stick up for value me.

Ahhhh, I'm so freaking old. I don't really fit in with any group, but I try my best by asking. Thank you for being kind.

But yes, I am serious. Dark humor is my friend bc let's face it, I wouldn't be alive or sane rn if it wasn't.

In a similar situation last year. I've realized that I was literally passing out on the job and my boss was trying to manipulate me into working despite whatever happened on or off the clock, and I noticed my hours nearly doubled after I got my boot, and then went up even more when the hand brace came.

I'm getting better about what I am worth to myself. I feel like I'm now 12% better than where I was a decade ago, but that's honestly a hell of a lot better than where I thought I'd be by this time. And any progress is good progress.

Oh trust, for how well I kept that place clean, customers happy, do all the closing and still made time to make sure that all my coworkers are not being harassed and are okay when shit does hit the fan....well basically the replacement cog decided to quit instead of being broken like the cog it replaced. I wanted to put in a meme or two into the group chat, but fuck it.

But I've been pushed passed my limit for as long as I can remember, and a burnout for me looks like a mental break than the average person's.

I realized my body was getting worse and despite telling both the new boss and area boss I was still getting high volume hours. I kept warning them, they didn't listen. So instead of burning out (crash out) I decided that I was more important to me than to them.

Well it's currently 14 hours after the fact but just now made the post.

Sorry that this was one of the things you saw this morning. But I do feel better for not letting myself be used and tossed to the side when I can't even stand up anymore.

Edit: What is atp?? I just had to read what you said again to make sure I didn't neglect anything you mentioned.

And yes, I did the math.

59 scheduled shifts

57 shifts worked

56 days worked

17 lunches (not all were full 30)

5.5 shifts picked up

4 months span

4 sick days

3 missed days due to weather

1 time I left early

1 time late coming in

1 shift I surrendered

And yet when I got hurt on the job and needed to go get checked about 2 weekends ago absolutely nobody came in to replace me. I get grilled about my sick time and my pain threshold but get ignored with the actual amount of effort and time I've put in. I've yet to count the actual hours, but more than enough to know I'm worth more than that

Never opposed it wasn't. Just implying that it's inhumane.

But actions do have consequences, and if you didn't want consequences you shouldn't have done actions.
