Someone was talking to me about a warehouse job they started recently. It's ten hours a day, and alternates between being 7 days a week for 2 weeks, then 6 days a week (Sunday off) for 2 weeks. Doing physical labor in a non-air-conditioned facility. With only a half-hour lunch break and 2 other short breaks, which aren't very restful, since their work starts piling up while they take the breaks. And it doesn't even pay well. It sounds awful. A job like that would be hard enough, if it were a regular 40 hr workweek, but like that, I don't know how people can stand it. Or how desperate they must be for a job and money, in order to take one like that.
The person I was talking to had lost his previous job because his supervisor had told him to do the wrong thing, but then put the blame for it on him.
Being unjustly accused feels very bad.
Having someone you know well get mad at you, and not want to interact with you anymore, also feels very bad. Especially when you're not even sure what made them mad, and they don't tell you, or it's all based on some misunderstanding and they choose not to believe you.
Having someone not believe you, feels bad.
Knowing that someone might turn on you, might get mad at you for little or no reason, and stop being friends with you (because you've seen them be that way to someone else)... makes them seem irrational, and not someone whose friendship I could feel any security with, either.
Finding out that someone cares so little about you, that they don't even care to work through a misunderstanding, or discuss it with you, feels bad.
