I work in a really small convenience store that is inside a retirement home. Salary is decent for the tasks I need to do and another plus is that I have a free lunch every shift. Since I'm a university student and it's only part time, I think the job is okay. For a student job, it could be WAY worse than that…
I was the only person to apply for the job. During the “interview” which last 3 minutes, they told me the job was mine if I was interested. Just like that.
But right now I'm tired. I'm getting upset. This job is getting on my nerves and on my mental health SO bad.
Throughout my time since I started here (4 months now) I made some mistakes like coming in late, forgetting some tasks I needed to do. Basic stuff. But on the other hand, they didn't have to train me for anything, I took shifts during all the holidays so the manager could've a break and I took shifts on different departments to help because there's a lack of staff. So I recognize that I am not the best employee of all time but I'm definitely not the worst. Am I lazy? Most of time yes. Am I punctual? No.
Anyway
Boss of the retirement home started sending me text messages from time to time regarding my performance or me being late. I recognize that some of his concerns were right and I should change my habits but in his messages, he told me false accusations out of the blue and those were not right. The Manager, who look like a nice old lady seems to be talkshitting in my back too. They always have something to say regarding me. It's never good enough, it's never okay. The boss of the home just gave me this week his second warning and even though I'm sure they don't have any candidate to take my job. I think he'll fire my ass pretty soon. He started to micromanage me, telling me starting from now that I cannot study anymore at the job (weird flex but okay)
I did an interview recently to work in my study field (high school education) and I wait for their answer. I could start doing substitute teaching. I'm not anxious. Interview was great and there is a really high demand for teachers and substitute. Even though if it's not 100% sure that I got the job, should I quit before I get fired? I really want to give my two week notice because I can't stand the job anymore. I need the money for bills etc but I know I can survive easily till I found something new if I don't have the substitute teacher job.
