My employer yacks all the time about safety. Whenever I bring up problems that need solving about safety I'm the one who gets screwed over. Then they broke my contract after I was told I wouldn't be penalized. Then my employer made up lies about me in order to fire me and that put me in the hospital. Now I'm suicidal half the time cause it sounds like a good career move considering my employer's concern for me except a postal would be more productive. The rest of the time I can't do anything cause I'm so depressed.

I learned the hard way when I was younger that you can't change your employer. Either learn to work with them or go somewhere else. If you are being harrassed you can always file a complaint, but if he/she is the head chief then there's not a whole lot you can do, unless you seek legal help. I used to find all kinds of faults with previous jobs and managers, only to find out that it was stressing me out way too much because all I thought about was how I was getting screwed. This didn't help because the boss was going to do what she or he wanted to do - they were in charge and I wasn't. Unfortunately, we live in a world where we have to sometimes accept those who we work for, or else suffer the consequences. Maybe your current work environment is so dysfunctional that it only makes your condition that much worse. If this is so then I would seriously consider looking for a new place to work. If you cannot afford to do this then I think you're going to have to learn how to live with all the crap going on and change the way you react to it. Learn how to effectivly choose your battles.

Damn fool! You don't have any idea how much harder life can get!

I understand the bulls*t you're going through is not cool at all, but you're talking about commiting suicide because of what someone else has done to you.

What a f**king punk!

Look, I'm sorry I'm being such an as**ole, but you're letting someone else determine that outcome of your life.

Soldier up and take control!

This is YOUR life and YOU have the power of making all the right choices to bring you out of this dilemma.
It may seem like it'll never get any better, but if you don't EARN your opportunities in life....how can you say that they're rightfully YOURS anyways???

I care, man, and I don't want to see anyone breakdown, just because someone else is being an a**hole, ok.

You hang in there and quit bitching about all the things that AREN'T right in your life.

At least you have HOPE.

I don't see you laying in the streets with your injuries and I'm sure you're eating at least once a day!

Stop taking all the simple things in your life for granted, because you'll see how hard life can really be when you lose them!!!

Otherwise, if you can't understand that I'm trying to help you, then maybe you shouldn't be alive because it's fools like YOU (and your boss) that make this world so cruel and hard to live in anyways!!!

God have mercy and you, bro'!

You need to change jobs. If you are having problems at a lot of jobs, the trouble is probably you. I hope you are just venting here, because if not, you could be quite oppositional at work, and then I wouldn't want to employ you either. If you are just frustrated and venting on here, then sorry about that comment. It's not worth it to work for an employer who doesn't want you. And, what your boss says he/she wants and what they ACTUALLY want from you aren't necessarily the same thing.

good luck!

Get a different Job and get far away from this situation. There isn't anything more important than your own security and mental health.
Seek out a therapist to help you with you anger and "postal" feelings. Make yourself a priority and also...get a lawyer.
