So the title basically says it. To give the ultra short version: Stopped being a yes-man and started giving a crap about myself. Company didn't take too kindly to that. As work often has me travel out of the city for days on end (truck driver, but not cross country) and they can't provide the sleeping arrangements (berth is crappy and filthy, without mattress) I've also stopped paying out of pocket for motel expenditures. Company also didn't take kindly to that. It's now to the point where I'm refusing the trips because of all the out-of-pocket-non-reimbursable expenses cause me not make any net profit for multiple days work.
Problem is now I'm starting to get the less desirable jobs (lower pay based on commission, shorter <meaning less commission>, hourly rate vs. commission, etc) as what appears to be their either punishment or incentive to start hating myself again for the betterment of the company. This puts me in a non-ideal scenario to say the least.
Of course going the the labour board isn't a good option. Sure they put on the face of being there for the worker, but as soon as theres a complaint made the employer usually finds a way to make things so crappy the employee just quits shortly thereafter. "Oh they quit? Well you can't blame me, I didn't fire them..."
Fortunately as a truck driver with 4 years experience I have the option of looking and being considered for the job. Without that experience was hell to try and find employment. I've also make good ties with a microbrewery nearby and spoken about potential employment when things slow down at current job (Though at the time didn't expect total nonsense at current job). Potential issue with that would be turning a hobby/passtime into work and it no longer being enjoyable.
So what is my life plan from here? Look for a different job? Deal with crap hours/rates at current job? Or go back to crap scenarios where I end up paying with my health and wellness? As far as I can tell I'm screwed no matter what choice is made.
That's it. I've made my peace at the moment.
