Title. I live with my parents and I'm 17 years old, and I've skipped grades and done dual enrollment and am in my 3rd year of college. I'm working at Walgreens to pay for the bi-monthly tuition bills, and I've told them I can literally be there every day of the week at any time at their beck and call and I do everything asked of me well. Management has no problem with me, I often get feedback from my customers and my coworkers alike that I have a strong work ethic and am very pleasant to be around. I have reliable transportation. I'm never late and I always stay an extra few minutes if the store is busy and needs help. I have a full time work permit by the state and legally am allowed to work as many hours as I can get.
I'm consistently getting 15 hours or less a week. At minimum wage. I keep bugging my manager about more hours and she tells me “well, we can't give you them, sorry. we got our hours cut all across the board” and then constantly complains about not having enough people during the week.
I had a talk with her about my hours again and almost cried, told her I've been selling all my stuff for my hobbies that I've gotten as Christmas or birthday presents in order to pay my bills. My ps4, my xbox, my nintendo switch, almost everything I once did for fun has been sold on ebay to pay for school. I put every penny I earn towards tuition and I still can't pay for it because I am not getting enough hours. She told me she can try and get me 20 a week if I keep up the good work.
Do I need a new job? I don't know what to do.
