As the year draws to a close, many workers across California are running on fumes. Warehouse employees are lifting heavier loads to meet holiday demand. Retail workers are pulling extra shifts to cover staffing gaps. Nurses, restaurant servers, drivers, and office staff are working long hours—often without proper breaks or fair treatment.
The truth? End-of-year fatigue is real, and it’s not just about being tired—it’s about being pushed too far.
When Hard Work Turns Into Exploitation
If you’re facing:
- Unpaid overtime or skipped breaks
- Unsafe work conditions
- Verbal abuse or intimidation
- Pressure to work while sick or injured
You don’t have to accept it. You have rights—and you deserve to be treated fairly.
The Physical and Emotional Toll
Fatigue doesn’t just make you tired—it can cause serious harm. Long hours and stressful conditions can lead to:
- Back, neck, and shoulder pain
- Headaches and migraines
- Burnout and anxiety
- Sleep issues and chronic exhaustion
Your health and safety should always come first. No paycheck is worth sacrificing your well-being.
