Antiwork

I just got a new job.

As I’m sitting here waiting out my 2 weeks, I realize I’ll never be able to tie up any of the loose ends that need to be done before I leave. The freezers/coolers are a disaster due to overordering and hoarding of old items, there’s no way to organize anything perishable just due to everything be so jam packed. The owner waits until the last two hours of the day to put together “emergency” orders she’s known about for a week. Our turnover rate is insane for all employees (stock clerks and kitchen workers). The good ones get scared off by abusive upper management and lack of benefits. I’ve been here for 5, almost 6 years, and it’s been the same 10-12 hour shifts 6 days a week. I’m not gonna do it anymore. I’m tired. I just want a cozy 9-5 where I don’t have to be a jack…

I’m not gonna do it anymore.

I’m tired.

I just want a cozy 9-5 where I don’t have to be a jack of all trades, and that’s what I found.

Sure it’s a 12k income cut, and I have to move from the apartment that my daughter has been raised in since she was 9 months old.

It’s worth it.
