Hi guys, I am looking for feedback on my situation.
I landed a job in a small town I moved to in may. I have Barista experience as well as a bit of manager experience from a previous job.
The job I landed is at a cafe that was closed for the winter, I guess everyone went to school last fall, and business was dry in the winter(its a Summer tourist town here).
I was the person who fired up the cafe, I implemented the square PoS system, and got the machines up and running. Though I am not a “manager” I do all the scheduling, spreadsheets, logging hours, inventory… I even programmed a menu board in a TV.
My boss/the owner runs a fashion store next door, shes back and forth, always complaining about staffing issues, always on edge, angry, theres a camera in the cafe, she spies on us, eavesdrops on conversations, and basically makes the job(which is at a beautiful location) a living hell.
SInce I do all the scheduling, she hires, she also is very frugal with the hours I can give out… I am basically the person that gets shit on for everything, even if I am off for my 2 days off, I come in and get shit on because of the employees mistakes. No matter what I do, how much work I do, I barely even take breaks, I get shit on.
The staff has noticed how I have been being treated, the owner may have a personality disorder, sometimes I actually feel gaslit.
Now its midsummer, the cafe is busy busy, I am fed up with being micromanaged, and I have already started to print and hand off resumes. Local business owners know me, and my resume is looking pretty hot right now.
I know once I am handed over a job opportunity, the place I am working is going to fall apart if the owner cant find staff within my 3 weeks of notice. I feel like I dont even care anymore, I feel as if I am on this ship that is breaking down, but I have my life jacket on as I can afford 2 months worth of rent regardless.
