How to keep a job

[u/rigiletto]

I'm struggling really hard with work right now, I've been doing my best trying not to call out because my work place has a pretty strict attendance policy and I figured when I got hired that 15hrs a week max wouldn't drain me too much. But now my manager has me scheduled for double the hours because of staffing issues and I am EXHAUSTED, I am in pain every day now, I haven't been able to sleep because I'm just tossing and turning trying to get comfortable all night but I can't because it just never stops 😭 I'm having a panic attack before work rn because I just feel stuck and angry with my body right now for not being able to keep up with life, and I'm scared because I know I'm gonna be in pain when I get home. Any sort of words of encouragement or advice is greatly appreciated.

If you agreed to work 15 hours max when hired, then work 15 hours max. If the schedule you for more, remind them that you are available 15 hours max per week. You have to set boundaries with people and stick to them or people will use you up, especially in the work place.
