I just got forced to quit my job this past Tuesday. I worked in manufacturing (flooring) for the same company for over six years. I was on a swing shift that allowed for overtime practically whenever I wanted. Thursday before last they called a meeting to tell us we were going to 3 shifts (ten days on four days off) and that they would get with us individually to tell us which shift we would be on. They placed me on second shift (3p to 11p) which would mean that 20 days of each month I would be leaving before my fiancee and 2 y/o son got home and coming in after they are in bed. I would miss dinner time, play time, bath time, story time and bed time, all things that are routine for us. My son just wouldn't understand. I tried to negotiate my way out of it, but couldn't. My seniority meant nothing. I turned in my notice and declined to let me work the 2 week notice and sent me home 2 hours early, robbing me of a chance to say goodbye to my friends. This all happened so suddenly, we have rent and bills due, no savings, living paycheck to paycheck. This may not be the place for this, I just feel so lost I guess I just wanted to vent. Never had the rug pulled like this.
