Things are terrible.
So so very terrible.
My job used to be so awesome. I loved it. I still love it. However, something is completely ruining it and I have no idea where the hell I am going to go when I quit.
yep. quit.
I hate the hours 10-7. That's an entire day. What makes it worse is that you can't leave at 7, you have to wait until 7:30. No reason. Then at 7:30, they tell you "oh.. uh.. there is just.. uh, so much work to be done! you see! Yes, something has come up.. this very second! Stay till 10:00 or we fire you."
No i am not exaggerating. Sometimes there is work to be done, sometimes it's just "face time" where the boss just wants to see you there.
Then they want you to work weekends as well. Monday through friday and choose saturday or sunday.
WAIT. There is actually plenty of work to be done. Both weekends. Don't worry, you'll get a day off during the week as thanks for finishing all this work.
What day can i get off? "Oh... that hasn't been approved yet."
OH YES.
here is the big one
no overtime.
I get paid to work 10-7. One hour for break. But they want me to work 75 hour weeks.
I refuse to do it. I could get fired tomorrow.
WHAT REALLY FUCKING BUGS ME IS that everyone does it. Why do all the employee's let themselves get taken advantage of??? I googled whats it's like to work at my job, and it turns out they've been sued for employment abuse, and have been attacked and watched for there mistreatment. Yet it continues? Because they've found people who will tolerate it! I make 30,000 dollars!!! Maybe it would be different if I was making double that!! If you add up all the hours everyone there works, it comes out to making less than minimum wage.
I am so sad. I really thought I could have this job for a while. I met such wonderful people. It's such a nice office. It's in the middle of Soho.
THEN. Then. I come home and paul is playing Modern Warfare for the rest of the night. All i hear is people screaming and war noises and "GRENADEEEEE" and bullets. So, so many bullets. Actually the game is really just bullets going off, with all the other noise behind it.
He doesn't understand how I just want to relax after a long day. How i miss being able to talk to him. I miss the way he would look at my face when he spoke, rather then just up at a screen, mouth open, lost in a imaginary environment.
Don't get my wrong, I like video games. But, ugh. I play them at work for like, 10 hours a day.
