So after a month and a half of working at subway, I'm leaving. haha, didn't expect to be typing this soon.
I'm 18 years old and graduated out of high school so I don't have to worry about school, so I'm a daytime priority. I have a manager who opens every day except for weekends and I open Saturdays and close on Sundays. Throughout the week, I work lunch and day shifts, I work inside of a Walmart in Florida so we are a VERY busy store. 90% of my opening and lunch shifts I am alone, During my close I've had 1 MAYBE 2 people helping / closing with me. Until a few weeks ago I wasn't reaching the “3-minute service” and was getting 4-5 minutes a customer, and would get overwhelmed when there were over 4 sandwiches. I don't feel I've exactly been treated nicely or fairly for the shit I put up with from management.
Just 2 days ago I had enough. I verbally put my 2 weeks in and my manager refused to accept it. I sent it to my regional manager, SHE REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT. So I straight up told him, if he refuses to accept it, I need the 9th and 10th guaranteed off because I have a new job. I make 15 dollars an hour here with 25 hours, I work full time btw. My manager has had to cut hours because the old owners switched to corporate and I refuse to work there with this going on.
He told me he can't give me those days off because my OTHER coworker put in his two weeks two days before me…. okay? I told him “Okay well I will be honest with you here. There is no way for me to come in on the 9th and its just that”. He responded with “Ok well I'm gonna be honest with you too. If you don't come in on the 9th and I have to work alone. That's gonna be an automatic termination. I've already confirmed this with (Corporate Boss) and (Regional manager). and your pay will be dropped down to minimum wage. (10/hr)”.
Is this allowed? I never remember signing a contract saying if I quit my pay will be docked. I've spoken to about anyone I know with good work experience and they're saying this isnt legal. Please someone help lol. I'm quitting the 4th. That simple.
Edit- I just read the Antiwork Rules and saw theres no screenshots allowed. I was just recommended this subreddit so im sorry. Basically the issue is I put in my two weeks a few days ago so I would be out of subway by the 9th which is when I start my new job. Turns out just recently they changed the rules according to the manager that if you dont give a two weeks your pay will be dropped. But no one was told about this, is that right?
