Done

I'm just making a quick rant about job #2 before I head off to job #1.

I called in sick yesterday and today, because...well because I'm sick. Yesterday I called but nobody answered, because apparently nobody was there until 8. So technically it was a no-call no-show. Whatever. So one of the managers calls me today and tells me that because I called in sick, I need a doctor's note. No. I'm not going to the doctor for a cold. First off, I can't afford it until at least Friday, and second, what is the doctor going to tell me? "You have a cold." Seriously.

So I called in the only two days I'm scheduled this week. That makes a total of 6 hours per week, maximum. Now, I was told before I even applied for the job that I'd probably get 15-20 hours a week, which was fine. But 3-6? Not worth my time, and not worth the stress on my body that getting up at 6 am once a week does.

Then I was told that the head honcho manager does the schedules now, and unless I "prove" myself, I won't be getting any more hours. So I'm vying for attention among 8 other new hires for a measly 6 hours a week? No.

On top of that, I've had so many run-ins with people that are either A) rude or B) have absolutely no idea how to do their jobs correctly, that I'm pretty much just done. I'm handing my 2 weeks in either today or tomorrow. I'll be nice and not leave them high and dry for Black Friday, but after that, no more.

I've dealt with bad management, bad pay for the work I have to do, and rude co-workers enough in high school. I quit that job for a damn good reason. I'm not putting up with it again, especially since I have another job, a job that pays better, and treats me like an actual human being. I love that job.

Speaking of which, I'm now headed off to that job.

Have a good night everyone.

I take it the job you're quitting is Old Navy, but why on earth would they have you start at 6 a.m.? Also, if SBUX is a good job compared to that, it must be pure hell. Did you see that the Alterra licensee is hiring for their airport locations?

We start that early at Old Navy to take in shipments and get everything on the sales floor before the doors open.

SBUX has been pretty good to me overall, though things aren't as great as they used to be.

I didn't see that about Alterra. Surprisingly I've never even been to Alterra. I don't drive so I'm kind of stuck up here in Stallis and the Mayfair mall location never seemed all that welcoming. Its an option to consider though.
