I’m in a different state where I can get a job quicker than where I used to live but there’s more downsides to that now that I have experience. I just turned 18 (F) so I feel rushed to begin working and have a salary already as stressful as it is for me. Where I used to live i would clean houses, it was good money and I knew these people for a really long time before we moved.
Now my first ever job that I got last year only lasted two weeks then I quit. I just didn’t like how I was being treated and wasn’t use to people throwing all their work responsibility onto me and take advantage of the work I would do. I quit on the spot and never went back , I didn’t care to put two weeks in either the job was just awful. It’s not about “oh you couldn’t handle it” no if I don’t like it or deal with mistreatment I’m going to leave, jobs drop you just as quickly for their benefit vise versa.
Second time I secured a decent job , good management/coworkers at this new family owned business, dreams crushed when I received a call saying they need to take care of urgent matters in another country so they couldn’t move forward. So this happened between a few months , a long long time.
Now recently I got a job as a cashier near my school, the pay is so awful I only accepted it because it’s near by and I can’t drive yet. It’s just convenient of where it’s placed.. So it’s been 3 weeks including this current week. At first it was fine but I shortly realized again how shorty management is. The training was ok , basic stuff anyone can pick up as a cashier. The scheduling is my main issue. I feel like they’ve been treating me as a joke because in the interview they told me they only needed a Sat/Sun shift cover and I’d work a few hours. Never got called for Sat/Sun. Instead they call me to come in all week even though we agreed on ONLY sat/sun never did they explain they would add more hours. The first week they called me in Thur-Sat and said it was “training” but I had a feeling it was just them literally putting me to work. Then on times I’d mess up they’d tell the customer oh she’s new that’s why blah blah blah like no?? I was doing fine? I correct myself as I go but there’s been times where they’ve talked down to me like ‘dumb it down’ for me when it’s my first time doing this. Yea I was slow at first but I’ve picked up the pace now but I’m at a point where I’m gonna quit again without a two week notice. I called off two days due to family and am calling off again on Thursday but it’s like they never told me about this type of scheduling beforehand so how am I expected to be fine with it? It’s not fair I can’t do the same thing as well. If I get fired then oh well ig.
They call me in on random days with a few hour notice right before my shifts. Then some days a literal 10 min before I go in they tell me to come 1hr late, ok then they’re like no come in in 2hr. This Sat they did this and then they completely cut me off and told me not to come in because it’s slow?..Im like ok this in unprofessional but whatever. I wouldn’t mind if this happened only once, but they do this to me every week and cut my hours WHILE I’m working? If they see it’s slow they send me home .. I want another job because they treat me like a joke. Constantly telling me not to come in because it’s slow, come 2 hrs late 10 min before my shift constantly, cutting my hours, or they just tell me to not come in at all if they feel like it, I’m just tired of this I have bad luck seriously.
