…when he said that I’d soon be making I HATE MY JOB posts after I got hired, 4 months ago. Well, even though it took awhile, I officially do hate my job! Here’s why:
Our staff is given a set amount of hours that we are to divide between the three of us. I usually get the least amount of hours, because one has seniority and another is the manager. I’m okay with that. I’m cool with the steady amount I’ve had for the past month.
NOW.
They hired someone new, to share between our store and another store (same company). When I found out, I was quite upset (but didn’t show it) because that meant more competition for me in the selling, plus, I was worried about how badly my schedule would get played with. The latter didn’t bother me as much as it could have, because my manager told me a couple weeks ago that our head offices were expanding our hour budgets each week, and we could all (especially me) get a few more hours in each week.
WELL.
Apparently our head offices took that away, and my shifts are split in half, with this fucking new girl. To top it off, they gave her my one best shift (next Saturday, I rarely work Saturdays, but they are the best days ever for selling) and then my hours go down. That means, instead of 20 hours, I’m going down to 8, and she will have 9. I don’t mean to bitch about the one hour difference but uh, is that supposed to be telling me something? I don’t think that this is fair at ALL, since she will also work at another store, racking up more hours. I don’t have that opportunity. To put the icing on the cake, the week after that, I will be left with 6 hours, and she will have 8, effectively surpassing me.
I am SO FUCKING MAD. Talk about being spit on. I am now actively working on a new resume and scouting for jobs. This couldn’t have happened at a worse time, because it seems like the job bank sucks at this time of year (especially with students getting out). I want to give my two weeks notice on Monday when I see my manager. Or just quit outright. Do you guys think that this is fair? What would you do? Do I seem like a failure for just crying about it and then leaving? Because that’s what I’m going to do. Hey sorry, I’m better than 6 hours a week.
I’m not asking to be persuaded, because that would be just as dumb as making a relationship thread and asking you guys how I can get myself a girlfriend or something. I just want opinions, as usual. Or sympathy? whimper
