i recently got a minimum wage job(beginning of january) and i’ve been actually enjoying work. i mostly just stock shelves and cashier but it’s easy work and the customers are mostly nice. today i was supposed to work 10-6 and about an hour after i got there my manager called me into his office. i thought i was in trouble bc i missed a shift last week bc of a migraine. turns out all of our hours are getting cut. we work in a BIG store and it takes a lot to keep it stocked, cleaned, etc. however corporate doesn’t think our store needs as many people as we have most shifts, so they’re cutting our payroll funding. now we’re supposed to have a skeleton crew (1 manager and 1 cashier) every shift with minimal overlap. that means that part time workers (like me and a few other coworkers with kids) don’t get any hours anymore. i’m so sick of having to work all the time to make do. i’m just trying to get an education and come out of it with minimal debt. bc i’m not getting any hours for the foreseeable future, i’m just gonna find a new job, even tho i HATE the process of job hunting. ugh.
TLDR: my manager cut my hours, so i’m finding a new job.
