My job has absorbed all of my time now, and its taking me away from the most important thing I have. My family (dh and furkids). My supervisor, who was hired new to the company about 2 months ago, doesn't do a DAMN thing in my department. She's had the job about a month now, she only got it over me because she had a degree. Forget the fact that I have 3 YEARS experience in the company and was way more qualified. (I quit school to work full time for this company, when mom needed help with bills). I end up having 10+ hours of overtime a week when I already work 40 hours guaranteed. She is always switching her schedule to have extra days off without telling me, and calling in. She is apparently unhappy with the position and wishes she hadn't taken it. Hmmm, YA THINK?? You only have been there 6 weeks and you shouldn't have taken the SUPERVISOR job? NO WAY!!!!!! Too much pressure??? Too much work with too little time and pay??? REALLY? It frustrates me to no end! I put in 32 hours in a matter of 3 days last week not to mention I was sick and had ended up with 48.5 hours by the end of the week. I spend more time at work than I do at home AND sleeping combined. I'm exhausted, cranky, and I just plain miss my FAMILY! I miss taking Lola and Sammy out to the lake to play. I want to take Koukla out shopping and playing and start training her and working with her. I want to have the time to groom and love on my babies, clean my home, keep teaching my rats new tricks, or just watch a movie and cuddle with my hubby! I wanna be at home once in a while. I'm just barely 22! My coworkers don't get why I didn't get promoted and don't think its fair to work me like a damn plow horse! ( I also somehow find time to volunteer at a horse rescue in all this). I'd like to go spend more time with my horses too but I just cant. The money is great but I'd rather be poor than work to death at a young age. I quite possibly had my piercings and tattoos count against me for the promotion (discrimination) but my manager swears he didn't. My work family loves me very much and my managers admit to being lost without me, but enough is about enough. I'm gonna talk to my supervisor about stepping down if she can't handle it and let me take over. That way I can write my own schedule and work out a way to fit my life into work. She even had the gall to tell me that she may abandon me completely to work part time for sprint. Hell wouldn't be any different I'm already doing all the work and taking all the shifts! Sorry but I had to rant, maybe I can get some opinions on how to approach my manager about the subject too. I'm just 1 person and its so much work. I can do it but I need him to work with me so I can have time at home before the hubby and "kids" forget who I am LOL
