The most recent situation makes me wanna quit. I’ll keep this as short as possible. I work a minimum wage job and am being treated like it should be my only priority. The first incident: I had an invasive procedure done on a Friday. I wasn’t properly prepared for its severity/recovery time and had to leave halfway through my shift the next day bc I was still unwell. Called out that Sunday too for the same reason and was met with passive aggressive comments from the general manager and obvious annoyance.
