I've been working with this one company for a lil over a year. i'm part time. which means i have no insurance , no sick day, no paid time off, no nothing. This company has told me they would give me full time many time in the past and i believed them in the past but now i see through it. I wish i could just get up and walk out but i have bills i have to have a job. and this company knows this and they just keep giving me more stuff to do. I just don't know what to do.

    It's normal. They are using the shit out of you.

    Find another job, then quit. It is always much easier to find a job when you have one.

    DON'T say anything to anyone, just start looking. Find a job and give your notice.

    If they offer stuff to keep you, decline and move on. They have a history of using you, and will do so in the future if they can.

    Get another job, leave.

    Read the Nice Factor Book.
    You learn to say, "I would just love to help you but I'm swamped with work at the moment. If I get some free time I'll get back to you."

    I'm assuming it's co-workers and not just the boss piling it on. Learn to leave on time to 'get a lift' or 'catch the bus' or 'family member not very well and you've to visit'. Whatever.... let 'em know you have a life - nicely of course.

    I think too many people feel as you do. I wish you luck in your search for balance between earning money and fulfillment.

    Well, I work full time for this company over 5 months and they said nothing about what u mentioned above either. No nothing!!!! I think they will keep on doing like this until we can't take it anymore and quit. Suck
