Things today went from OK to a total crash.

My work situation is getting out of hand. Short story is the corp work CEO brought in a college buddy of his as the VP over my region. First thing this guy did was fire my direct boss and hire his brother. Both of them are micro manager POS that seem to enjoy trying to belittle others. They get off on throwing their weight around.

They came in and fired 4 people and moved those routes to all of us. This added a ton of new duties that simply where not part of my job. The worst issue is this company expects me to be on call 24/7 without any sort of on call pay. I have been here for over 2 years. At first it was ok. They didn't abuse it. But these 2 revel in it. I get TXT messages and call at all hours from them. Not emergencies. Just them trying to show that they are in control. A bunch of made up paperwork. Also they say we cannot leave our phones or go out of town. Its getting out of hand.

Today I had an extra hard time of it. At 5:30 I was wrapping up the paperwork for the day and looking forward to having dinner with my son. (I don't get to see them much) And my phone rings and they are calling me out.

I melted down and tore into the brother. Told him they where out of line and I am not getting paid to wait at the phone. They cannot dictate what we do on our time off. I stated that I knew my opening my mouth and telling him this was almost certain to get me fired. (last guy to complained about the on call thing and stated that they can not tell us what we can and can't do on personal time on a conf call was fired that week.) His response was a bunch of that everyone got fired because of theft. (those that got let go where give severance pay. That doesn't happen when theft happens.)

I had to go out and missed my dinner so I disappointed my son. He is 19 but still. Things are so hard now. I really can't afford to loose this job. I have child support and insurance to pay. That takes so much I can barely make it as it is.

This time is really hit me hard. I feel like I am broken. I am beyond angry. I am sick to my stomach. My mind is full of so many sorted thoughts about how I feel about the way things are today and corps in general. I wish he would fire me just so I can't tell them off and not have to listen to these parasites. Now I just feel broken. Like my heart simply can't keep feeling. I am cold.

Thanks for taking the time to read. Like I said I am venting. I know that there are tons of folks a lot worse. I should be counting blessing because of my job but I can't. I just don't feel right at all.
