Month: April 2022

Having browsed this sub over the last couple of weeks I have come to realize that I was caring about my job way, WAY too much, to the point that I had to force myself to stop caring. Lo and behold, it has improved my mental health ten-fold.

I was hired for a full time position with optional overtime available. I gave my availability, Sundays off for religious reasons. I got my schedule: 6 hour shifts, 6 days a week. Asked my manager why I wasn't full time and why I was working so many days with no overtime. “You can get to full time if you want to work 7 days a week, and overtime is only available on night shifts.” So my choices are to work part time not making enough to pay my bills or work literally every day until I'm fired or quit… plus sacrificing sleep to make any extra that I need So I quit right there. FThis I'm out of here.

Gave us the news over the phone, while she was safe at home in her basement. Put profit over our literal lives. No amount of pay – let alone minimum wage – is worth this shit. Everyone on shift put in our two weeks. Half of them aren’t even planning on showing up to their next shift.
