Antiwork

not sure if quitting was the right idea, but not NOT sure either.

I work at a sephora, where I, upon first glance, do not seem like I should be working there. By my standards, I shouldn't have been, but a friend set me up with the job and I desperately needed it. Started off decently, eventually things started to seem weird. Really just on the register, helping customers, cleaning, stock. The usual. Till I started feeling out of place. After that, I guess my employers and managers agreed, because my three days a week became one Thursday a week for four hours. There are never more than three workers at a time, so to me (and I could be wrong, please correct me) it seemed strange that I was only getting one day. I'm not the cheery-est they want me to be, but I'm kind to everyone around me and do my job. Now, I've hit a hard spot in life and…

I'm not the cheery-est they want me to be, but I'm kind to everyone around me and do my job. Now, I've hit a hard spot in life and they're aware of it, I don't try to hide it because it doesn't help me or anyone around me in the long run. Feels like lying to myself to be the happiest person in the world. You get me?

Last week I went in at 1, and was told I was an hour late. My hours were apparently 12-4, but the schedule I have on dayforce said 1-5, as it has been for the last month and a half, and today.

Went in today at 1, to work my 1-5, and was told I wasn't on schedule. I had it hooked up to my phone calendar, held it open for my manager to see, and she still insisted I wasn't scheduled. Told me to talk to the other manager, who told me the same thing.
If I wasn't on schedule, why is the schedule right in front of my face?

Cue me quitting and having probably the angriest walk of my life. Still not sure it was a good idea, as I'm totally struggling financially and won't be able to support me or my daughter.
