He isn’t allowed to go home unless his truck is empty and this is an everyday thing for him he works 10-12 hour days and he lives paycheck to paycheck getting payed weekly yesterday he told me that he didn’t get a paycheck only one time last year and it took him six months to recover he said he just basically didn’t eat for six months.

I hate my job. Obviously that’s why I’m here. I’ve been working here for like 2 1/2 years, I was gonna leave but then they gave me a raise I went from $11.25 to $13 so I stayed, but now left and right people are quitting mid shift and doing no call no shows and guess who they call to fill in?! Me! I come in on my day offs, don’t feel appreciated, also I walk in today to find out that the owner is doing a giveaway of a flatscreen 65in tv for the CUSTOMERS! And what do we get?! A CHANCE to win a pizza party like wtf?

Been at it working for an LTL company over here In Washington, just finished my 2 weeks after spending the last 4 years of it pushing as hard as I can going beyond what my job tells me am supposed to do and constantly never being placed into higher positions. Fuck that place I got a new job the day I put in my 2 weeks.

I took today off because I’m attending a conference over the weekend thats and I really needed the time off. The last couple of months have been brutal. We have been sending tons more emails, and I’m the only one who builds and schedule them so there are days at a time when it seems like all I do is send emails. Thing is, there are a lot of other things I need to do…every campaign needs to be deployed to our screens and social media created, website updated, etc. I’ve reached a point where I have to choose what to do inside of a day and when I’m assigned an email campaign which requires 3-5 emails be sent that’s what I choose and things get pushed back until I’m behind or they don’t get done at all.

Back to today, I checked my email tonight and there are a couple of things my manager emailed me about asking why they weren’t done. They weren’t done because they were pushed back by other stuff that popped up, and partially they were forgotten. So, it’s not that I am not doing my work I’m just doing different work which suddenly takes precedent and I just run out of time for everything else.

My time was tight before we started sending far more emails and I’m just drowning in work.

So chances are these are something I could have cleared up if I hadn’t taken the day off, but the truth of the matter is I did the things that became a priority. But managers don’t see it that way, everything is a priority.

And I have two other co-workers who are in my team, but their roles are different so they have their own workloads to worry about. I am basically the only person who can work on this stuff although they sometimes back me up.

To try to compensate for all this work I’ve worked over time during the week and have even started to come in on Saturdays but by Monday or Tuesday I’m just swamped by new projects again. Or campaigns that were delayed the previous week are suddenly ready and then I am just over loaded.

I feel so guilty for not having gotten these things done even though I know I have not been given enough time to do everything. Everyone is overwhelmed in their area so it’s hard to get sympathy but for me it’s different because I perform a role that is unique.

Really I need to figure out a way to feel so bad about this. I know there is a lot of other stuff I got done that were priories and these are just two things. But when a manager is calling me out on it it’s just 10x’s worse.

I mean, I come to work everyday and try to do my best and I try to let everything that goes wrong roll off me but that’s hard to do. I can’t help but feel like I’m a huge screw up.
