I worked full time at a metal yard, and I was offered more hours/pay at my other retail job temporarily (enough time to find a better job that wouldn't make me want to cry) and I got told that I had no plans for my future 6 months from now, and pretty much that I had no career unless I stayed here.
The entire time, my boss/stepmother was making assumptions about what I had been doing and that I was just going to be in retail for the rest of my life.
“Don't you want to get out from your parents thumbs?”
“(Owner) was going to get his certs so he could give you your forklift certification, but he had to go focus on his other yard”
“We don't have to hover over you, we can just leave you alone and you'll get stuff done”
But she totally wasn't trying to guilt me into staying. Mind you, I'm making 13 an hour for manual labor, and I make the same at my goddamn retail job.
I didn't want to quit for the longest time, but I've been left alone to run the outdoors portion of this yard for over a month now. I had Covid, I was out for a week, and got no sick pay. But oh they can go on weeks long vacations with no repercussions.
Sorry if this is discombobulated, this just happened and I'm still frazzled about it.
