I work for a thrift store. Don’t get me wrong, I love my coworkers, I find tons of amazing things, it’s a fun place to work. HOWEVER, they refuse to give me living hours.
I’ve worked here for 8 months. When I started, they told me I’d be part time until I finished training. When I finished training they said I’d be part time till I made $300 an hour in production. When I made $300 they told me I’d be part time until I made $400. When I made $400 they told me I’d be part time until I made $450. I’m working my ass off, I’m energetic, I make sure to put in the effort of getting along with everyone, I express that I genuinely enjoy my job often. I do everything right.
I’ve tried looking for another job but none of them are enjoyable, none are offering full time and there’s not much else I can properly do with my mental disabilities. This is what I’m stuck with. I don’t want to leave because I love my job, it works around my mental disabilities and I can’t find any other work but I also can’t survive off 24hrs a week (sometimes less).
I don’t know what to do and it’s ruining me, I’m starting to feel suicidal simply because I have no other options at this point, I’m going to lose my apartment and ability to keep myself alive in the next few months if I can’t find a solution.
