Fucking hate my job

Sherry • Stars can't shine without darkness.

So, I tool this job back in August, my old job had crazy ridiculous hours. Like sometimes 18 hour days. My husband and I were talking about starting a family and wanted to have regular jobs that would allow us to have a home life.

I have a history and lots of experience in cosmetics manufacturing so i decided to look in that sector again. Went to the interview, knew I nailed it and ended up getting the job. I was told it was full time, which is what i was looking for. Come to find out it isnt actually full time so my rate of pay which is good essentially means diddly squat without the houre to back it up.

I immediately started to look for something better. Thats when my husband got fired/ laid off. It took him about a month and a half to find a new job and in that time we couldnt afford for me to start somewhere else and have to wait for my payroll to kick in, so we decided i should stay put for now. We also find out im pregnant.

When my husband finds a new job he comes in on payroll in a way where his first real paycheck wont be for 3 weeks and we are falling behind in bills so i stick it out so we at least have some steady money coming in to cover our rent.

This fucking place tho. Its a small company, I'd say maybe 12 people in total. 3 managers, finance, marketing and operations. My operations manager is the one we all report to. This guy is the most unqualified, incompetent idiot I've ever met in my entire life. Sends out old products and says things like oh our products dont have an expiry date. Which is complete bullshit, if its going on your fucking face it has an expiry. Doesn't quality check anything. There are no SOPs for machinery, not a manual to be seen. lets people work in the warehousein flip flops. Can't properly use a computer and is constantly making massive mistakes on our production orders then trying to blame us when customers complain. When we clearly point out that our paperwork said something he just says Oh i dont know how that happened, the computer went haywire.

A lot of the warehouse equipment is old and dangerous and he wont deal with it. He expects me to climb up on to rickety ass shelfs and crawl around on them to get things. Spends most of his day writing stupid unnecessary notes on our paperwork.

The other day he asked me to pump some product in to a 200kg barrel. which is fine. Except the machine is so dirty. I tell him that this is why we need manuals to show us how to take things apart and properly clean things. Side note The other ladys dont care if its dirty, they've all just given up. He asks if i can try to take it apart to clean. I say ive worked with similar machinery and can try.

After I leave for the day, he pulls the two ladies who run filling aside and gives them whole bunch of shit. Says that I know all about these machines and that I said they weren't cleaning it properly.

When I came in the next morning he tells me what he said and that the ladies are mad at me. Sure as shit they've been complete bitches ever since. Now i essentially work with these two ladies and one other person. So an already awful job has become completely unbearable.

We just got all caught up on bills and I want to start looking for another job. Problem is I'm almost 3 months pregnant now and if I start a new job I'll start showing before the probation period is over. In that time they can simply let you go without any reason.

I feel so stuck. Im scared of that happening and then not being able to draw any maternity leave. This place tho. I cry almost every night because of how miserable it is. its totally a hostile environment. Just.... FUCK
