I finally put in my two weeks notice

Whether I end up working it out completely is up to my boss. I know I'm going to get a barrage of messages in the morning when she walks into the office and sees my notice sitting on the desk. Like others, I used to enjoy my job. Well, I enjoyed my fast food job as much as one can love a fast food job. When I started I got full time with overtime, I got the days off I wanted, I was willing to learn and fix any mistakes I made. Eventually we get to today, I'm scheduled 32 hours this week, I'm only getting one day off I really want, and instead of getting coached I get yelled at and written up. I've been working there for almost a year. I was promised bonuses and a raise which never came. I told my boss that I can't survive…

Like others, I used to enjoy my job. Well, I enjoyed my fast food job as much as one can love a fast food job. When I started I got full time with overtime, I got the days off I wanted, I was willing to learn and fix any mistakes I made. Eventually we get to today, I'm scheduled 32 hours this week, I'm only getting one day off I really want, and instead of getting coached I get yelled at and written up. I've been working there for almost a year. I was promised bonuses and a raise which never came. I told my boss that I can't survive on less than 35 hours a week, not when I have student loans and credit card debt. I am literally going in to debt to work there.
Now they won't be able to beat my new job offered to me, 2.50 more an hour plus full benefits and 3x the vacation days. It's manual labor but I'd rather do that than suffer making less.
I'm hopeful for myself for the first time in almost a year and a half. Maybe I can finally make a dent in my debt. I'll invest more into my online store, spend more on advertising. Maybe I won't have to work eventually (hopefully before the world ends or I die)
