For the first year of my full-time job at Loblaws, everything was going so great and smoothly. I was happy, i looked forward to going to work everyday...i wouldnt of minded working there into my later years
But for the past...maybe month now, work has almost become unbearable. I cant sleep, barely eat anymore, when i wake up, i almost feel sick to my stomach, having to get ready for work? why is that? why, after such a great first year on the job, do i now hate going to work?

The stress has become too much to bear. Management refuses to give out the hours to the part-timers to help out on the busier days, so we are pushed into working harder and faster just cuz they dont wanna go over the weekly hours of labor...
They throw me to the dogs almost every night...i've basically become the night crew lap dog...any job the other full-timers dont wanna do, i get stuck with it...Now i have to train any new night crew employee? Did i get any say in all of this? No, of course not.

The stress was so bad that i requested a leave of absence due to stress, my night crew supervisor allowed it, so did the grocery manager...but when i had to ask the store manager, i got denied. Why? For the fact that my reason for asking a leave wasnt "good" enough. Unless my mother was dying in some far away place and i needed to leave to see her, i was stuck working.

I had a NERVOUS ******** BREAKDOWN at work this past thursday night, and my reasons arent good enough?? Are you ********' kidding me? I've spent 9+ years with this company, only a year + full time, and this is the first time in those years that i've truly felt cheated.

I dunno what i'm gonna do now...i'm stuck going into work Sunday night ( which i shouldnt even be working on sunday's, but because im training now, i gotta work the days the trainees are scheduled) and i doubt they'll even think of reconsidering my situation...i'm at my wits end...
