The wrong person

I do my best to earn my pay. I will miss breaks, work through lunch, and do the dirty work no one wants to do. I stepped forward and and took two job titles no one wanted. My job, it's a thankless one. Y'all see, I am a state worker. The public thinks were all worthless, and to be honest, so does management! Everyone thinks I make the big buck, but I am looking for another job just to make ends meet. 
We the workers are the backbone, no two ways about it. We are the ones who sweat, bleed, miss out on family time, yet the lowest form of life. We get called out durning Thanksgiving meals, or while our children open presents Christmas morning. But never a "thanks". 
We do the work for some foreman, and even a few higher ups. Why, because we are told to. 
I was told that I made a huge mistake when I took the two job titles. I just brushed it off. Well, today I found out they was right. I know a job is what you make it, and I try to make the best of it... Till today!
I now plan on coming to work, doing my job, and going home. I will no longer place trust in management at all. I know now that everyone is here for themselves. I will still be the first to jump in to give a hand. I'll still do the best work I can do. I will even try to advance, but not for them, for us, the thankless.
I know that I myself will never be able to change how this place is ran. But I will not treat others the way I have been. 

Big Man Out
