So, I currently work at a shitty dollar store (not the best but it pays the bills).
I first agreed to this job due to it being close to my house, I had no retail experience (I had 5 years job experience in a niche field that didn’t transfer to much), and because I was desperate.
The store manager made a big deal about “paying her people well” only for me to make 11.50 hr.
I was rushed through training videos. Then a week or two after I started they made me a manager.
I agreed cause I thought it came with a pay raise but was shocked to find out it did not. It only came with more work and “consistent hours”…….
I took it anyway (desperation ya know) and I’ve been a manager since. My hours were about 30hrs a week but my shifts are all evening shifts meaning I basically didn’t have a life outside of work.
Recently I’ve been hella burnt out. I’ve still been doing my job just not “going above and beyond” with it.
I’ve gotten two write ups, one for miscounting money at the end of the day and the other for sitting at the registers (this job is killing my feet)
They hired a new guy and I found out they’re wanting to make him a manager. They didn’t tell me this I found out when they put him on a shift with me and told him to watch what I do and shadow me. I’m not sure if they wanted him to tell me but he did.
Then they cut my hours from 30ish to just above 10.
Now, they have taken me out of the system as a manager. Once again they didn’t tell me, I found out I no longer have the authority when I tried to do a customers return…..
I’m wondering, should I just cut my losses and put in my 2 weeks notice before they fire me? I’m currently living with my parents till I can get back on my feet. And it would give me enough time to get an education like I want and actually have a life sooooo…. On the other hand it will delay me moving out of my parents….
