I’m always amazed when I learn that someone is working at more than one job. I usually wonder how they do it. How can they go from one job to another?

The job I’ve been working at for four years now — takes a lot out of me mentally and at times physically.

The people there in top positions are adamant about hitting numbers and being on performance wise everyday. It’s not encouraging when you’re made to feel more like a machine than a person.

By the time I finish my ten-hour shift, I’m mentally fried and need time to unwind from being locked in for hours.
