Still trying to get my thoughts straight here. So I'm sure I'll wonder off topic here and there.
So, I was feeling kinda bad about it until I got my boss' reply.
I suppose for that to make sense I need to figure out how much background I can give without going off topic.
So, it's Domino's, and this is the second time I quit this exact store. The first time the stress of covid brought to the surface a lot of bullshit I'd been ignoring and when my boss tried to call me out for something in front of the whole store that was the final straw. And I'm far from the first or last person run off by this GM.
After a few other crappy jobs, my roommate convinced me to go back. Even got 2 bucks raise out of it (sacarcasm party hat here). And this time, a different stressful event shortened the fuses. The death of my ex-fiance and mother of my children. Thankfully the child care and social workers are trying to be as helpful as they can. Work claims they'll help however they can. But every day needed for whatever reason, body viewing, clearing out her apartment, just general burnt out. It's all like grinding teeth and pulling a mounted cable.
I can't wrap my head around the list of things to do and people to talk to, and I'll probably end up moved elsewhere where I won't be able to work there anyway, and I'm just done.
I told my boss, I tried to be nice about it, maybe the “at least it wasn't your fault this time” remark was a little backhanded, but I was trying not to burn bridges.
And his reply, cliffnotes version, it was never his fault, you have to admit things have improved, can't you at least just put in notice and work til at least xxx date…
And Suddenly I feel less awful. It is still his fault, things are not better, and no, if I was going to stay at all, I certainly won't now. I haven't replied to his reply yet. I'm kind of flabbergasted and my heads not on straight…
