Ugh…

Folks, this is NOT GOOD.

If you’ve ever had a job that was so intensely soul-crushing that even the thought of it made you sick, it’s time to get the hell out of there as soon as humanly possible.

But that’s easier said than done a lot of times, because most people can’t afford to simply walk away from a job without something else lined up.

The guy who wrote this story has a job that is literally making him sick, and it’s having a negative affect on his life.

Take a look at what he had to say about this.

My new job is the single worst thing I have ever done and I instantly regret it.

“I recently was offered a position at what I thought might be a dream job.

It took a month to get fingerprinting and whatnot done, so I was not able to give a 2 weeks notice at my old job because neither I nor the job knew when I would start, so I cannot return to it, plus it is going under, so there was nothing to return to.

The fingerprinting location gave me the wrong paperwork, which stuck my start date in limbo indefinitely, so I ended up knowing my start date 72 hours before, on a Friday.

The schedule is not what he was expecting.

My new job was offered to me at 7 am to 330 pm, but upon arriving for my first day, I suddenly found out they have mandatory 10 hour days multiple months out of the year and weekly overtime up to 5 and 6 pm whenever the operations manager feels like handing them out.

We usually get told 30 minutes before we’re scheduled to leave that were getting 2.5 hours of overtime that same night.

I can’t schedule doctors appointments. Hell, I cant even schedule interviews to get out of there because I have no idea when I can schedule an interview since I might randomly get 2.5 hours of overtime during my interview time (if I schedule after 330).

I can’t even schedule them on my lunch break because we go as a team and it’s anywhere from 11:30 to 12, so I cant guarantee any place even 30 minutes of free time to interview.

This place sounds horrible.

We’re also stuck in a clean environment behind multiple keycard doors, and must dress in and out of our gear when we leave, so I cant just step out and take a call in my car.

It would take close to 15 minutes to get outside.

I’m basically 100% unavailable from 7 am to 6 pm, Monday – Friday. You know…the only time anyone interviews.

I also have to wear a full body covering from head to toe, work in 80 degree rooms that are 60% humidity all day. I am drenched in sweat for 9-11 hours a day, my entire shift.

This is brutal!

This was not told to me until my first day.

It’s triggering my anxiety my entire shift, I’m depressed every moment I’m awake. It was instant regret. I cried at lunch, at work, on my third day. Cried when I woke up the next day. I have micro panic attacks throughout the workday, 5 days a week.

I have panic attacks on my time off about the job, having to go back, the work I have to do and the overwhelming volume of it.

I cannot afford to get fired because I need the money, but I cannot continue to do this job. Like..mental health wise, I cannot do this job.”

You gotta feel for this guy…

And I’d say he should quit and figure out something, anything, if it’s really this bad.

What a horrible situation…

This guy needs to get out of this work environment RIGHT NOW.
