Working at place that is desperately understaffed. Thought I would help out and make some money, win-win, right?
They scheduled me full time, although I only wanted part time hours. After 8 weeks, I'm burned out because I'm also going to school full time. I'm skipping classes to work at this minimum wage job.
So I tried to be proactive, and tell my managers that I couldn't work as late, I needed more time off for school, and I needed to get home earlier than 11 as I have class at 8 or 9.
Waited the two weeks, but it didn't matter. Now, what am I supposed to do? If I put my 2 weeks it, it'll look like I'm flexing. If I wait another week, maybe the schedule will change, but I'll still be working 36 hours a week.
If I request a leave of absence, again flexing and when I come back, the manager will just be upset at me for “being uppity”.
Then again, I would feel terrible for my co-workers to just abandon my job.
At the end of the day, school is the most important thing to me. I'm on the Dean's List and gave up an invite to the honor society to work. I need time off for school, but it feels like they're just going to play games.
So my question is, should I quit? If so, how? Talking it out seems like the mature thing to do, but it will also lead to more bullshit games. Abandoning my coworkers also feels wrong, so maybe a 2 week notice will be enough? What are your guys thoughts and opinions?
