i’ve been actively trying to recover from several years of increasing burnout the past 8 months or so but it feels more like damage control than actually getting better, because i can’t actually take a break from everything. i have to pay my bills to survive. i hate it! 🙃
and most places have been understaffing at least since 2008 - that's when all my workplaces did a big round of layoffs for budget reasons, then never opened the positions again, and I get the impression they were not anomalies.
Yes after they cut those jobs and realized they could make the same production with less employees or better efficiencies they were like hell yes. They got better bonuses at the expense of us!!!
People have been working multiple jobs for decades. The system needs fixes, but not by MuskoX. Reversing the disastrous supply side policies would help a lot!
Listen, everybody has depression and, sure, we all experience self-loathing because there's literally no way to keep up with the demands of our corporate overlords. So, just do like everyone else and shove it deep down where I don't have to listen to it.
I agree with you. People should more openly discuss their emotions and challenges. We bottle it up to make ourselves palatable to a wider range of people, but it doesn't need to be like that.
I have to go into my foodservice job sick today because I can’t really afford to take a day off and my boss doesn’t give me the option to. (If I can’t find coverage and I don’t show up even with notice that I won’t, they’ll fire me.)
I was lucky we were training two new people so I ended up not having to go in, but still. They cut my hours too, so I’m back to looking for a new job, ugh.
But it is, if you're alone in it. What are we doing to combat that aloneness? I have my answers, but I'm not sure anyone I put the work in for is out to do the same for me.
Omg I literally just made this post. I feel so trapped at work. I am beyond burnout and they don’t give a shit. I just talked to my plant manager after talking to hr. Our HR is horrendous. I have never spoken to a person with less empathy in my life. Make excuses for the company is their goal.
