Hi
I have a ton of problems and do not know where to turn...I have worked over 8 years for this company that has seen the work environment deteriorate from a decent place to work to a complete sweat shop. The morale is awful. We were working 6am to 2pm with zero breaks. They just recently told us we must come in at 530am now since it is so busy..once again we get zero breaks and the workload is insane in the equities business. Now, we reorganized desks and they are wanting us in at 430am...I suffer from Fibromyalgia (hurt all over) and the lack of sleep even at 530am start is killing me... now having to start at 430am is going to literally kill me. I have high BP already from this job and of course this FM condition. I want to quit but have worked so hard to get to a decent salary level etc...I feel so trapped in a hole with nowhere to turn. My quality of life sucks. I am tired all of the time. It is not healthy working like this. I am shaking now. Obviously, it is stress bigtime. Aren't I a candidate for stress disability? I am so depressed, stressed and miserable. Somehow I have maintained an impeccable work record and have great reviews etc but now inside am so bitter and miserable. I think they are treating us like crap. I am so sleep deprived and it is now going to get worse. I really don't know where to turn. Can someone please help me? I usually never ask for help but am desperate.
Thanks alot TJ
