Work Woes.

KimberHills

Warning: This could be the emotions and hormones running through my body. But I used to work part time and recently took a full time job about a month and a half ago. I went from working 24 hours a week to 55 hours a week and it's killing me. I took the job under the pretence that I would work 40 hours not 55 or more. I'm miserable and don't know what to do. I barely would have the energy to do this if I wasn't pregnant but now dealing with morning sickness, trying to schedule doctors appointments and lying about it is really weighing on me. I come home and go straight to bed. I don't clean, cook or even talk with my husband anymore. I don't know what to do?! I dread coming into work but I know we need the money especially now that we have a baby on the way. What should I do?! I'm miserable.

Do you need the full time income? Can you talk to your management about the extra hours you're putting in and see if there is some way they can help with workload?

Why are you working more hours than you thought you were? If they told you around 40, why is always 55? It is temp or will this be every week?

I completely understand.  A lot of it is hormones, sickness, and exhaustion.  Very normal.  Truthfully I went from 5 days a week down to 2-3 and took the money loss because I just couldn't manage with 4 children at home, working, 2hrs plus

Are you salaried, or hourly? If you're hourly, at least you're getting extra moolah...?

I work full-time and am salaried, so I'm working about 50-55 hours a week, too, but I'm compensated fairly and I've always worked full-time (except when I was

Thank you so much for all your replies. It definitely helped me calm down. I'm still pretty sick and dealing with all of this is pretty difficult for me right now. I'm going to take all your ideas and advice into consideration. This is just not a fun part
