Is there a limit here? No matter how hard I work, it is never enough. Every day I have more and more work to do, and in return I don’t get very much. I am sick of the demands this company makes on its employees. Follett literally squeezes people, to the extent that it becomes really unbearable.

Our local Walmart is offering $16.50/hour for overnight stockers.
Lots of much better options than Follett if you want a job.
If you think of Follett is a career, those days are long gone.
You're showing them who you are and they don't appreciate it. They're showing you who they are. They're not going to change.
Ever wonder why people stay in abusive relationships? Now you know.
Be real about your situation. It is time to find a new, better job and leave.
Amazon is hiring. Go now.
Did you shop in a KMart or Sears store in the last ten years? Minimal staff, entire areas of the store with little or no product, shelves that stocked with unsellables, not clean. Follett is outsourcing services to a pay by the sip model, choosing which bills to pay, not investing in their employees, dropping benefits and employee services... Specialty retail is folding up all around us, malls closing and strip malls empty. Not sure why you have any expectations left of old Follett. Time to stop waiting and wishing things will go back to normal friend, bailing water ain’t gonna save her. When she goes down family first and loyal employees like you will just lose a job. The good news is there are places to work, really good places to work, in businesses doing well, places that can’t find people right now. It is way easier to get a job when you already have one. Don’t be discouraged and go find a place to work that has a good culture today instead of ten years ago. Good luck and Godspeed to you. Now lets get to work!
This is how I feel every day too. Year after year, you do everything for everyone, and still not worth consideration for anything. Never enough.
You’re not alone. Its not you.
BF thinks the culture is wonderful.
The business model is built on this steady stream of replacements. Wages remain stagnent since no one ever sticks around, and they keep you strung along just long enough to suck the best parts of you into their image.
There is no limit. You will be squeezed until you quit or you're fired, and you'll be replaced by someone who they'll pay even less, and the cycle will repeat. Employees are replaceable.
