So back in January I got pulled over omw home from work for driving a shitty car in a nice town at 3:30am. He said it was because I was floating between the lines which whatever. I had unpaid court costs I thought I had paid in full but didn't so I had a suspension on my license I didn't know about. So now I got another suspension with hefty reinstatement fees and I diversion program to get my license back. My work was 30mins away from where I live and being a 3rd shift manager I don't get off until between 3-5am. I have a son so there was no way I could swing paying 35-65 for an uber home every single night. They got me a spot working at the store 5 mins from my house temporarily while I worked on getting my license back. 3 weeks later they said I needed to go back to my other store at least 3 days a week. Okay. They did need my help and when I started they had another AGM that was helping cover the gaps. A few weeks after that and the manager at the store by my house said that they didn't need me anymore, even though their store was a shit show. It was probably for a couple reasons like me finding out that the group of people that closed with me that would call off several times a week and walk out sometimes and never get any sort of reprimand were extorting the gm because she had an inappropriate relationship with one of them. She also had the other agm working off the clock and using his pto so thq
e labor would be low and she would get her labor bonus. The guy is in love with her even though she's married and shows no interest in him. then she was asking kids to work extra hours then going an shaving atheir hours off to keep labor and I advised them to call the dept of labor. SHE found out what I did and what I knew and wanted me gone. So I am told I'm going back to my 30 min drive store full time. Except I notice my hours on the next schedule are cut to 32 (i was guaranteed at least 50 per week) and where I would usually get that in 3 days it was spread over 4 (which means more rides I have to pay for) and some shifts starting at 10 (which means my son is asleep and I can't get a free ride in from my wife). So not only does this cut into my regular money for wife but my fines I'm supposed to have paid back in 30 days now. Then my boss wants to talk to me today and they say that I either have to demote myself and work only 40 hours per week for less money but while keeping all of my responsibilities. This happens just two weeks after I find out my wife has cancer and that our second car that we had a friend of my dad's friend take to fix the body disappeared with my car and 1700 (although he had no prior criminal record we found out he did it to like 4 people at the same time.) and then we get a call andy car is at impound where we find it with half of the engine missing. Then we find out my wife has cancer. They probably know this and know I'm not in a place where I can walk out without having found something first. They said there's a chance I can keep my position if I take up one of the awful spots even further from my home. I've been desperately looking for a new job, my work history is solid. I hadnt called off once since I started this job over a year ago. I've been hoping to find a WFH gig as I have customer service experience and data entry experience but it's been harder than I thought it would be. I want to say fuck you and walk out out of principle because they'd be fucked without me and I plan on dropping a data bomb on HR about all the unprofessional and illegal shit going on.
I start data analytics classes in two weeks because I really want to better myself but if I didn't have a family I would walk. I don't know what to do. I almost 40 and I had to go to the bathroom because I was shaking from anger and almost crying from the straight cruelty of it all. I'm trying to be a good father and partner and I don't even want to go home and share the news. No one will be mad it's just another thing to add to the pile of things. Why are people so cruel? God I just want to find a new job now use all my pto and quit with no notice so they lose a bunch of money because they will have to reduce hours while they try to find a chump to replace me. Sorry I had to vent. I've never had anyone in a professional setting act so cruel to me.
