I'm so embarrassed!
I've recently gone back to work over the summer as part time, after almost 3 years of not working.
I was consistently being scheduled for more than full time hours and it physically and emotionally broke me.
I just started crying when my boss said I couldn't leave. Mind you- this isn't a mom and pop shop, this is an international company. If I had to be gone for a shift, the company wasn't going to take a hit to their bottom line.
I did everything to protect myself, and the company before I started, so this wouldn't happen.
I checked the box for disabled in the application, during the first interview (of many) I said I was out of work for the past few years due to medical issues, and I signed an employment contract for no more than 30 hours per week.
I'm still SO embarrassed, and now any excitement I had for the job is gone because I'm burnt out and overall just tired.
How do ya'll get through this?
(Also- I did put my foot down and said I NEED to leave and get some rest and I'll be back tomorrow, but I will be facing a written warning, which is a first for me!)
