    The managers, the attitude they give you for doing the littlest things, they have nothing nice to say, they dont have 1-1 with anyone, they don’t give out overtime, but can’t finish the job in the time slot and then blame it on the people doing the job, they “can’t afford” to give out more contracted hours, but need people to pick up the overtime when it’s dished out
