Hi antiwork…
I am in a situation. Right now I work for a small store with a few staff. Recently someone was let go and the boss wont hire anyone new so now everyone is stuck with more work. Everyday I find myself having to do the work of two people for mere pennies. I wouldn't mind the work load if I was paid more than min wage… to me it's not worth it anymore.
I usually do closing shifts, and the morning workers will often leave me with a shitpile of work to do cause they don't want me “to be aimless” but in reality it stresses me out like hell. Ofc I don't mind doing the work, but the fact I have to do their work on top of my own (stocking, checking stuff, cleaning etc) I also have to manage customers.
In addition, at take down time, some coworkers will not pull their weight. I'll do my take down of the store and counting cash at the end of the night, and then I'll have to help them with their take down. It wouldn't be a big deal if it didn't keep me late. I don't even get paid for that extra time 🙁
I feel trapped here. I wanted to resign but he offered me part time to ease that stress and I took it. I wish I just resigned, I rlly dont know what to do. I just want to quit and go coorporate. At least you get raises there (at least where I live) and it's easier to get time off (here you can't get time off, my coworker had to fight to get a week off to see their sick family member…). My coworker who worked there for like 20 years had to fight to get raises. Idk, this place sketches me out and I want to quit like now… Please advise me, I really need help antiwork :((
