I think I might really be broken this time..(need to vent)

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.

No wonder you are feeling lousy ... the environment and rules have changed and it sounds unclear what they actually are and they keep changing. The nepotism seems especially intolerable. Maybe you could ask for a written job description if you don't already have one so that it is clear to everyone what the expectations are. Sit down with it in hand and ask yourself if this is the environment you really want to spend your time in. If not, start looking for a new job. A friend of mine was recently in a similar situation and she bumped along for a while but recently found a new job (less pay) but she is so much happier.

(((Hugs))) Work can cause such stress ... but a good work situation can be very fulfilling. Be a good employee wherever your work but take care of yourself, above all.

That sounds really stressful. I bet you feel really stuck. It sounds like you're being abused. Take care of yourself.

I have asked for this many times and the company can't or won't produce one. The work environment got worse this AM My email was full of paperwork that was deemed "unacceptable" because of cross-outs. (in the field I would have to start a new line because of an error copying a serial.) This was all sent to me at 4:30 AM They have started retaliation towards me for calling them out on the on-call situation. I have just registered with my states Workforce commission and on-line with a few jobsites.

I can not keep working under people like these two. I have seen what this company is doing and we have no recourse now. Nothing left but to find other employment.

Thanks for hearing the vent. You guys rock!

Yes, life is too short to stay in a stressful job situation. I'm having the same trouble. I don't enjoy mine but there are complications to looking for a new one, so I'm kind of stuck right now. I hope to be able to break the bond as soon as I can.

I'm glad you are looking for a new job. You're sure to be happier somewhere else. Good luck.

Glad you are getting your "answer". I always feel better when I move past the problem and into the solution.

I was going to suggest organizing a union - but that all depends on your line of work and the other people you work with. Sounds good that you see other opportunities you can pursue. That is probably a lot less stress than a union drive.

I can't stand the corporate world. I got out of it years ago for the very reasons you are talking about. You deserve to be treated with respect and dignity. I am now satisfied with my current job. It is pt cause I'm on ssd for my illness. You can't go on like this. It is scarey to think you could lose yr job Abby day. Corp thugs make us feel unstable in our jobs. I'm glad you stood up for yr self. Way to go! You risked alot by doing so but it's good cause you stood up for yr self. Keep up the good work. Yr worth it. I'm sorry you had to miss dinner with yr son but there will be other times. Please know that you are not alone. Take care
