10+ Overworked employees who reached breaking points on the job: 'I don't get paid enough for this!'

Every employee faces some sort of crisis at some point in their professional careers. For some, it's about change. Perhaps another opportunity arose that would change the course of your career, but would require a significant adjustment to your lifestyle, such as being asked to relocate. For others, it could be a personal epiphany. Maybe all of the ways in which you were once justifying the normalcy of your day-to-day at work have suddenly proven ineffective, and you have come to realize that this is not the place where you want to work day in and day out for the rest of your life. 

Despite what many folks will tell you, it isn't too late to change your mind, and most decisions in life are reversible. Of course, if you quit, you likely won't be asked back, but if you have chosen to work for a difficult boss for several years, there is no need to justify your regrettable choices by staying there even longer. Check out these stories of employees who finally realized that they were not getting paid enough to endure this abhorrent treatment!
