My store is under new management. We close at 8:10, scheduled until 8:30. Everyone in store knows to maximize that 20 minutes and try to get out of there on time. Most of us have kids, and some of us (myself included) have a longer drive home. The new manager wants to hang around and piddle on the iPad and just do whatever until 8:40-8:45. Most of what he’s doing I believe could be done before we close the doors. My husband works nights, and has to leave 10 minutes after I get home when I leave on time.

Got laid off from my company of 7 months due to budget cuts/reducing workforce. My team is now extremely short-handed during a busy week and will be short-handed afterward. At least got a severance pay of 2 weeks and a listing of other positions i can apply to (all pay way less than i made). Started applying instantly when i got home. Have over 30 applications out. And done 3 interviews. With more interviews lined up. Plus, having a misdemeanor on my record hopefully doesn't hurt me that badly. I'm hoping i get a job soon as i was planning on moving out, but now it's nearly impossible as all locations need income proof. Sucks everything is underpaid and good paid jobs required experience or higher education.
