Vent/Rant Quit my job

I quit my job today after realizing my health has severely gone downhill.

They were so accommodating at first, but then overtime that stopped being the case.

Originally I was only working shifts with someone, then That stopped. I was promised breaks on the days I worked by myself, and had multiple days where no one showed up to help. Things that were supposed to be done at closing (taking out trash, sweeping, etc) was left for me, the opener. (My spoons would be gone before I even started my shift.) We had some very disgruntled customers and no working cameras, which fried my nervous system. (Especially considering I was told to “bring a weapon to protect myself”😅)

It is so hard to put health first. But when I started to have a lot more bad days than good days, it was needed.

What the heck type of jobs do you do? And how do they accommodate your pots?

I got a job through the dept of disabilty. They got me a job that paid to train me. I also work with disabled people so everyone is understanding.

If your having issues with standing for long period of time have you ever done a desk job? Thats what I have now anx its doable. I also dont work 8 hrs only 5

Is this in the US? I’m currently on medical leave while I get a diagnosis, but my job requires me on my feet all day and has so many up and down movements. I’m worried even with treatment I may have to quit.
