i(20F) have been working minimum wage jobs since i was 17; fast food to retail. I’ve been working the same job since my senior year of high school and I was always those employees that rlly put in that extra (unpaid) effort, any time they would needed someone to come in and work i was their girl. can you come in early? no problem can you stay later? sure. I did this cuz in my mind it’s like screw it im getting paid either way. but i now realize that im not getting paid enough either way; today i had to come in at 4AM to help with inventory, while counting the items, i count them twice and run my fingers through them so i do not mess up my count- my manager turns to my other manager n goes “oh you know (myname) is a little..” n then he blows air as in to say im slow or essentially dumb.
I am the only girl who worked inventory. it hurt my feelings a lot because i had worked with this particular manager since i was literally 18 — i am looking for jobs and will be turning in my 2 weeks hopefully when i get some interviews. This all happened less than 2 hours ago. when managers compliment u n rlly talk ab how they appreciate u as an employee if that doesn’t come in with some kind of pay raise KEEP MOVING! I would put my 2 weeks in now but im still in college n right now doesn’t seem like the best time to be earning no money. Hoping everyone quits n gets better jobs with teams that actually respect you. thank you for reading
