This is gonna be a long post, so I hope you'll bear with me. It's hard to find a way to describe my situation briefly.
So, three months ago I accepted a job as a night watchman in a tourist village here in Italy, and the conditions were the following.
- 5 months (working summer period, as usual here in Italy)- 12 hours shifts, every single day (8pm / 8am)- No days off. At all. Just work for six months straight, every single night.- 2.100€ salary each month
I've already worked with these guys (who are rich and have dozens of villages in this area) didn't have the best experience cause they manage their work and employees very badly, but I thought this time would have been better cause they changed some people in management. So... I accepted. And I kind of regret it. I knew it was going to be tough, sure, but some things just aren't ok here.
I started on April 18th. Today is July 3rd. And I'm physically and mentally destroyed by the inhuman conditions we work in. Last week, in the middle of one of the busiest weekends here (lots of tourists arriving) all of a sudden they decide to change my position to a different reception desk, the "central" one of the village, where I've never worked before. For no reason. It was hell. I had no idea where to begin doing stuff, since no one cared to explain me anything. They just told me to go there all of a sudden, and I did. Everything went fine, but I was destroyed, a non-stop 12 hours hell.
Now they told me I have to stay here until the end of the summer... and guess what? Every nigh they LOCK the bathroom in the office, cause it's right beside the cashier, and apparently they don't want anyone in there. So to go to the bathroom, I have to walk all the way to the other side of this huge village and do my stuff in my colleague's office bathroom (that's not locked, cause there's no cashier). It's crazy to not being able to go to the bathroom when you need it...
When I can rest, I do it on the floor, cause they won't give me anything to lay on. I had to buy a damn flashlight with my own money cause they didn't give me one, and I had to pay to duplicate the thousands keys of the village. They didn't give me a service phone either, so people in need during the night call me at my private number.
To give a bit of context, my job consists of:
- Welcoming people.- Doing check-ins- Bring people to their rooms/bungalows- Insert customer data in the database (shouldn't be my concern, they have secretaries for that)- Patrolling the area (it's huge, and I'm alone cause they don't wanna pay for more staff members. At least 3 people should check this area)- Throw the bar trash (definitely shouldn't be my concern)- Close/open a billion gates- Turning the lights on/off- Freaking bring breakfast to the secretaries (like, seriously)
And so I realized the pay is not enough for what I do and for the conditions I'm in, cause I burn 300€ (minimum) every month between gas and food (when I can't prepare it at home). 1.800€... is not enough.
I have no life, I go to sleep at 9am and wake up at 4pm, lay in bed until 7pm when I need to prepare for work once again, and then go back there at 8pm once again. As consequence, I eat very badly. Every single day. It's hell. I tried talking to the manager, but he's an idiot who snorts coke and gets drunk all the time, he always says "I'll see what I can do" knowing he won't do anything, cause that's how people manage things here. So no raise, no days off, no bathroom in the office, no nothing. So I either accept this and continue until the end of September like this, or just take the money I earned so far and leave them on the spot without saying anything. I just won't show up one day, and that's it. The problem is, I live in a small area, and everyone knows each other, so I know some people will talk sh*t about me for leaving a job like this, plus my employer is a big client of my father's business, and I'm kind of afraid there's gonna be consequences. I don't think it's the case, they're old people and they don't care about anything, but it's a thought I constantly have. My boss even said to me before starting the job to "not leave him halfway through". Truth is, they're millionaires, they know people, so they won't have a problem finding someone else to do this job. And that shouldn't be my concern anyway.
Plus, if I leave my job, I need to either find a new one (almost impossible in this area, during this period) or either take the few money I earned (slightly more than 4.000€) and move somewhere else, cause I'm temporarily living in my parents' house due to its vicinity to my workplace. And I obviously don't wanna live with them, cause I'm 30 (I only came back for this job, I left years ago). So other than worrying about possibly leaving this job, I also need to find a place (anywhere in the world, really) and have a plan for when I leave.
So... I'm not sure what to do. If I resist, I can gain some more money and then leave this hell forever. But I'm so physically weak and destroyed, I'm honestly very worried for my health, both physical and mental. I'm so done with this life, and my life in general. I wanna leave everything and just go away from this place and these people. I wanna start anew. I just have these contrasting thoughts between "just leave" and "just resist and take more money, even if it means doing a s**t life".
I'm not sure what to do... What would you do in my place? Any suggestion?
Thanks.
EDIT: Forgot to mention: I didn't sign any contract yet. We are employed and receive money regularly, but they didn't bring us contracts yet. I guess this is to my advantage at this point.
