(((waterknob))) I just had this same conversation with my sister the other day. I work 12 hour shifts at my medical facility, minimal staff, no lunch, no breaks, no support and unbelievable stress. No time to even drink a cup of water to re hydrate. I come home too tired to eat and just fall into bed in a coma like state for 4 hours each day just trying to recuperate. Losing weight right and left. I'm a shell of my former self as they suck the life out of me on a daily basis.
I've been standing up for myself lately and would you believe it showed up on my evaluation. Needs to be willing to work along side coworkers and offer to help them when needed. I can't even help myself. I've been waiting to get fired but that has not happened. I'm glad you were able to stand up for yourself.
