So to start out for it anonymity sake, let's say I work at a ice cream truck. If you think you know where I work, no the fuck you don't.
I am just so fed up with the job, I am so close to rage quitting. I feel like I am constantly set up for failure. I feel like I do not have enough time in between events to get to the next one on time. I feel like I don't have enough time at the shop before or after my events and driving to either properly stock my truck or clean it without one of the owners copping an attitude and bitching about us running up the time clock. I feel like I'm not given the resources I need to succeed. I feel like my boss and manager thinks that they own my time both during the work day and outside of work hours. Just today, 3 hours before my shift starts, I get a message from the group chat saying that the schedule has changed a little bit. My schedule changed to where I would now be staying three extra hours than before. I have plans to see my brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. The manager didn't bother to call and ask anybody to see if they could change their schedule, they just went ahead and did it. And this is not the first time it's happened. My bosses seem to think that this is the best job ever, but they don't pay as high as they should for what they want. They don't offer any sort of benefits, no insurance, no vacation time, they don't even offer direct deposit. The work conditions are difficult, in the summer sun. I also don't feel like the owners value their employees feedback. The rules and expectations are constantly changing. One day the expectation will be one thing I'll come in the next day and it's completely different, and I will hear about the change from another employee, not necessarily a manager or boss. I couldn't tell you how many times I've mentioned not liking them changing my schedule last minute, on account of the fact that I do have a life outside of work and pets I need to care for.
On top of that, we had a crazy busy month in may, where most of the employees were getting 50 to 60 hours a week. Then in June they hired on 5 or 6 different people, now our full-time employees hours have been reduced to about 20. They should have hired on the new guys back in April so that they were fully trained and independently working by May. I'm actively looking for a new job, and I can't wait until I find one. If I could I would quit right now.
