So, I was offered a career opportunity in the kitchen at our county jail. It's a great gig with amazing benefits and pay. I would be stupid not to take the opportunity. I talked to my boss' mom two days ago, to try to guage how I should break the news, and get some advice. She said I obviously need to take the job. And I did. I told my boss yesterday in a long, heart felt letter.
For more background info, I was told I'd get a raise and promotion after I got my servsafe Manager certification. That was back in November of 2022. It never happened. I had actively been begging my boss for more hours for the last 6 months and every time I told her I was struggling, she would say “yeah but I don't want you to be stuck at work all the time.” Or simply “oh no :(”
For her to say this shit last night after I said I was leaving, I know it's just her gaslighting/guilting me because she doesn't want me to leave. I know she needs me. But had I been treated like her “best employee” (which I know I am, by far) maybe I would have stayed! Lesson learned yall.
Never stay with a shitty job purely out of loyalty or guilt guys! I've been there for a year+ and put up with disgusting disrespect from her family, the nepotism and some really screwed up situations, all out of loyalty. It will never happen again and Im so relieved that I'm leaving!
And her gross comments she made afterwards, I feel like she was just trying to get a reaction out of me. I use my phone on breaks or when we have dead time. And the comment about my fiancé irritated me because I told her about a situation that happened awhile ago, and I never should have 🤦️
