Today, I found out via a voicemail from my boss that my hours are being cut. He said, "They said I can't fire you, so you'll only be getting 20 hours a week. Starting today." Who'd they give my other 20 hours to? The one person that calls off sick almost daily and is never on time. FML

I would use the time off to start looking for a better job where they appreciate you. Sometimes, you just can't win and it's time to move on. Best of luck, OP !

I agree, get out of there and let them fail with employees who don't care about their jobs. You seem to care about yours and deserve respect they don't want to give. Find a better path, leave politely and you'll come up the better person and on top in the end :D Best of luck!
