I have a factory Job where the environment and work culture keeps getting worse by the day. It seems nothing around there can ever be done right as the management jumps between making quality, quantity and safety the main focus of the job depending on which is suffering at the time.
The company I work for claims to be a family oriented company even though I have to be open to work every other Sunday if they need the work. I often wish I had a job that fits my personality where I don't have to work any Sundays and where I have the time to get to mass during the week.
I often have to go to confession because of my anger. I also pray and ask God what his will for my life is and if there is a job out there that better fits me as I am going crazy where I am now. I also feel spiritually drained to go to work and see so many people who appear to be on the road to Hell and the world only gets more depraved as time goes by.
How is God working through us Traditional Catholics during these increasingly perilous, depraved and mostly spiritually dead times?

It doesn't answer your concerns completely, but perhaps this little excerpt may help.
http://www.cathinfo.com/catholic.php/The-Trials-of-the-Workman
In it, Fr. Lascance explains how to turn your 'thorns' (trials at work) into 'roses', by making it meritorious through offering your trials to Christ. After reading this little passage, and meditating on it, its helped me quite a bit in my approach to work.
