Hi all!
Worked as a cleaner at my old job (used to work there for 4 years before quitting) horrible atmosphere. Lots of unkept promises (told I would be trained as Assistant Manager after working there for 2 years, worked an additional 2 without ever receiving that training and my manager would take every chance she got to pull me into her office to tell me I wasn’t working hard enough, I had to PROVE that I wanted the promotion. Finally at year 4 I could barely get out of bed I was so depressed. The day I quit she said yeah I don’t think there ever was an assistant job for you) Basically just endured abuse for my last 2 years working there.
Anyways, quit and continued to clean twice a week at the store for 1.5 additional years- easy extra money). Went in after closing, never had to see any old coworkers thank goodness.
Last week received a letter of termination. Called the manager asking why, and they proceeded to say how horrible I was at cleaning the store, that they and all the staff were noticing and complaining. I never empty garbages, store looks awful etc etc. TOTALLY caught me off guard, because whenever I did run into them or the owner they always said I was doing a good job.
Anyways long story short, they are holding my paycheck until tomorrow, the very last day of the month (will remind them tomorrow to leave it behind for me) very nervous they are not going to pay me and then I’ll be behind on rent. I was given a month notice, but not going back after tomorrow. Really hard to continue to do a job when you’ve been totally disrespected and lied to, plus told how awful you are at it lol.
For sure after the dust has settled it will be a blessing in disguise since they have treated me so so poorly for 6 years.
Is silence the best path? Don’t let them know that this has bothered me at all? Or finally speak up and say something?
