Since 2/29 I’ve had exactly one day off, and as of last night I don’t have another day off on the schedule, thanks to my backup taking an emergency leave of absence. I am TIRED and really, really stressed out. I’m not a robot. I need time off, to recharge my batteries, be with my husband, and take care of mundane things like laundry, never mind trying to have a life.
I have no intention of putting up with this level of stress for much longer. The main thing that’s kept me from screaming louder about the situation is my vacation, scheduled to commence on 3/31. If I have to, I’ll grit my teeth and slog through until then, but once I’m back from Rome, things need to change, and quickly.
A drone at the corporate HR department told me that since I am an exempt employee, there is no limit to how many hours I can be made to work nor how few days off I can have. Frankly I’m not sure that’s really legal, but I haven’t had time to find out what the situation really is.
Anyway, I’ll try to keep blogging regularly but if I post less frequently, now you know why.
On the good news front, my car is back from the shop again. Here’s hoping I’ve used up my accident quota for the next 20 years or so.
