I've been working at a retail chain for almost a year while in college. During the interview I told them I was about to start school, and they said “we can absolutely work around that.” But that has not been the case.
I had a whole conversation with my team lead when I was about to start fall term about when I could work. Went into the computer to update my availability. Then the first week I started school, I was scheduled during classes. I had to go to HR to get my schedule edited. It was the same way near the end of the term, when I was scheduled not just during classes but during FINALS. I went to HR again. For the next little bit had no issues except I had a hard time keeping up in school with 30 hrs/week so I talked to my team lead again, and he agreed to do 20/hrs a week. The first two weeks after that I was put in for 20 hrs.
And then it went back up to 30 hrs. So I went to HR AGAIN and they updated my availability to 20hrs. And now next week I'm doing 20 hrs but it went to 30 hrs the week after THAT.
I'm done fighting with them. I have been so stressed out with work and school, and I cannot jeopardize school at all. I live with my parents currently so I'm going to simply not work and focus just on school.
It felt freeing when I finally decided to quit. I'm putting in my notice tomorrow.
