I know this seems like baby numbers for some of y’all. It is baby numbers for some of my coworkers who’ve been doing what I’ve been doing for a lot longer - I’ve somehow managed to not get my two jobs to schedule me on the same day so I haven’t had to work too much on a given day. Everyone else I know does that tho.

I finally have a couple days off. But I have so much pending shit to do during then. I don’t have energy for anything.

Revolution soon pls.

I absolutely feel you.

I've been working nearly 10 days in a row as well, yet I'm only a part time employee because they can manipulate the schedule so I end a week with 30 hours between Thursday to Saturday then work another 30 hours Sunday to Monday and then it's like you get two days to try to recover from the overworking they do to our bodies. And it doesn't really happen because pending shit gets in the way of recovery.

I've started just leaving my shifts an hour or so early because the extra money isn't worth it..my legs had a dull ache in them just from walking around. My shoulders ache, and I'm falling asleep within an hour of getting home and unable to function. All to wake up at 5am and do it again.

It leaves me miserable and angry at everyone around me.

Yep, work to the bone, it your still part-time so you don’t get any benefits. Your schedule sounds absolutely awful. You should look into compression socks if you haven’t yet. They help you if you’re on your feet all day.

I'll definitely look into compression socks yeah I need anything I can get to help me out.
