I have always adhered to two weeks simply because to have the extra money coming in before the next check from the new job hits.
However in this case (certain delivery company that may or may not be a wing of the government) was killing me. Basically ruling my life, if they had their way I would have been working 12 hour days, 7 days a week. Atop of that I was denied training in essential aspects of the job by both the supervisors and the Union steward who said “trust the process” and essentially kneecapping my ability to do the job.
And once I got comfortable in the job as in delivering a certain route and cutting my time to where I could do the job more efficiently, I was thrown into another route that I would have to relearn and repeat the process.
All of this and I was actively talked down by the supervisors and told that it was my fault for being unable to adapt after all of this.
There's a reason why said organization is having issues getting new people, it's the most borderline slave labor situation I have ever been in and after my shift and being exhausted on Thursday, I left all my work gear in my locker and put my ID on a desk and clocked out.
I just got left a voicemail from a supervisor losing their shit (lol) and am waiting to go in for another job interview in an hour. Have been doing Ubereats since Friday for some extra change in order to make some ends meet.
23 and the benefits of a “government job” isn't enough for my sanity, I feel a weight lifted off my shoulders and I couldn't feel more at ease about it.
Money helps, but it isn't everything.
