I need advice. Please be kind, preferably. If not, at least be funny
I have been working for about a year as an apprentice.
I am formerly on disability and I was working restaraunts.
I made about 2300$ a month on disability combined with a part time restaraunts job. 24 to 30 hours.
I had a fiance at the time, I wanted to make more money for her and her kid.
I've tried really hard to go above and beyond at this job.
I'm not gonna bullshit you.
I've fucked up a lot.
I don't mean making mistakes, but personal stuff.
I have been to the psych ward against my will 3 times
I have been through a psychosis, which I got through.
But I also try to come in early every day. Or I try to anyway
I clean the shop
I had been told I was going to be the shop manager by the general manager.
I've worked really hard to reorganize the shop.
I was told I'd get a raise, etc.
I was told by the general manager I'd get a full promotion once we get to our new shop.
So yeah, like I said, I've screwed up a lot but I go well out of my way to make up for it.
A .month ago I started working I. The shop exclusively.
I was excited I thought it meant I was close to getting my promotion and my raise. But so far... I hate it.
I'm alone all the time sorting through fittings.
I have to clock out to take a lunch now, when I was a helper
I could grab stuff on the run.
So a lot of times I do t eat.
I'm getting way less hours now. Which is my fault partially.
I've been struggling to stay for extra hours.
My goal was 7 to 5. The manager said 7 to 3 is fine, but I can stay if I want.
Ok here's the end of this rant.
I am making almost 200$ less a week now.
I haven't had overtime in a month.
The owner told me to sort the PEX and uponor fittings alongside with brass. He told me brass 90s, next to poly 90s, etc. but a week later he swore up and down he never said that. I spent several days arranging it. Then he told me that's not how he wanted it..he even said we discussed this already, which we hadn't.
So today I was working on changing that all up.
I took p.t.o. yesterday, because I was sleep deprived
I've been getting manic again, even though I'm taking my meds.
Today I had to get labs done
I asked if i could leave rq to do that this morning. He said yes.
Then when I went to do it, he asked why I didn't do it yesterday. I explained they hadn't ordered them.
I also greatly insisted that if it was a problem I could do it another day.
Anyway he told me to go home after the labs.
He also said I've been on my phone a lot. Which I didnt realize I had been using it too much.
He has also bought me a trailer that I'm fixing up getting ready to move into
I have been paying him every week for it.
I'm paying 300$ a month to hus friend to keep it on his r.v. lot.
So yeah theyve been good to me. But I'm not making money
I have made a lot of mistakes.
I won't be using my phone anymore.
But I only make 15$ an hour.
I have my annual evaluation later this month.
I make 15$ an hour. But I am hoping I'll get a good raise.
The generalansger had hinted a while ago that I should get a good raise. But lately it feels like this is turning into a shit show for me
