How much is too much?

Posted by Jeremy

I put up with a lot of stress and crap at work. There are many days when I don't get to take lunch until late if at all. There are days where I voluntarily stay late to help out and yet get no recognition for it. Times when I ask if I can go home a little early and am told no. There are days where I fix other peoples screw ups. I get to deal with upset customers. I am not in a position of authority. So I ask, when is it too much?

Have I already passed that point? Possibly.
Is there gonna be many more incidents? Definitely
How much longer should I deal with it? I passed that point a LONG time ago. :(

I have also found out that this city has gone to crap for finding good jobs. I don't want much. A nice office job where I get weekends off so I can spend time with my wonderful wife. Preferably 9-5 but not dead set on it. Yet, this type of job doesn't seem to exist anymore. Companies are too greedy and want to be open all the time so they don't miss that one day of sales. Employee well being is not usually considered. Sad really. How can a company expect to do well if their employees are not happy? Maybe that's why the company I work for has it's stock at 37 cents a share. Maybe that's why the competitor's parking lot is always full while we are standing around watching tumbleweeds go by. Just a though. But, what do I know?
