I don't know what to say I screwed up at work, I've been working long hours 12 hour shifts they are only paying me for 8 hours

And I missed something. I hate my job so much, I can't afford to quit and I feel trapped. I've been crying all morning. I haven't been able to find anything that pays a livable wage here and I've been trying but it's hard when you are working so many hours. I can't afford to live if I quit and I don't know what else to do this job is killing me emotionally and physically. Bar none the worst job I've ever had

What job is it? What other skills do you have?

@Montanaman I keep that private, but I've been in this industry 20 years. My skills are specialized to this industry so they aren't transferring over well. Not getting any calls on the jobs I've applied for and the only people interested are in this industry and I want out

@SW-User I see that it is a specialized industry, I’m sure you’ve considered leaving it . But why not leave it and do do
something else? In all the years you have been working, youve gained skills. There must be a way out.

@nonsensiclesnail I can't afford to take a severe pay cut. Its only me there is no way to pay my housing and bills without a livable wage. I have no backup or way to survive without my wages or I certainly would have quit a long while ago

@SW-User absolutely true for all of us most likely, the pay cut bit that is. I’m certainly not implying that you haven’t thought this through and your fears are absolutely real! I’m just hoping that maybe you’ve missed something. That there is a solution that will work for you,

@nonsensiclesnail I am looking for sure and hoping there is because this is hell and I want out
