You need a new attitude! Go back into work remembering that they actually need you more than you need them. It may not seem like it when they yell at you, but they are so understaffed that replacing you would set them back quite a bit.

My advice is to develop a plan for production, how you see it working better. Look at it from a managers perspective. Remember that employees are way more expensive than equipment and software, so don't try to convince them to hire a bunch more people. But maybe you can get more done, and correctly, if you had a platemonkey doing the simple, repetitive tasks?

I always recommend taking charge. Sure, it lost me a bunch of jobs, but now I have the job where I call the shots and the boss appreciates me. The best job security and wage guarantee is to be indispensable.
