I apologize if this is long lol but i wanna share my shitty job story
I am in my home town for the summer and needed a job for those months. I got one and was upfront that I would only be there for the summer and told them my last day would be August 16th at the beginning of July. I was told I would have the same schedule every week to make things easier for everyone. It did bc that meant I didn't have to check my schedule constantly or worry about the fact it only got posted in the break room. It worked until my boss started cutting my hours without letting me or any of my coworkers know. I would show up to work thinking I was scheduled only to find out my boss didn't put me on for my regular scheduled day. I meant to ask about this but I ended up being gone for a week due to my hours being cut. When I went in for one shift I again got told i wasn't scheduled and when I went to check I wasn't on the schedule at all. This was especially shocking to me bc it was 2 weeks before the last day I provided for them. I had to ask my boss what was going on and she said they needed those two weeks to hire someone and train them. This is true but its so wrong and ik my boss isn't dumb enough to make that mistake. A 2 week notice is a courtesy that an employee makes to their employer not the other way around. And my boss did not tell me they were going to stop scheduling me. The only way I found out was by going in and a coworker telling me.
In this way I feel disrespected by my previous employer. I dont understand how they couldn't have the common decency to let me know of important changes in my schedule and employment like I did for them, opting instead to waste my time on multiple occasions. As if a simple text wouldn't have solved this.
What makes me more mad is that I know I was a good employee; I never had to be asked to do my job, I didn't slack off when it was slow, I cleaned regularly, and I performed good customer service. I got complimented many times about how good of a job I did by all my managers. I know I actually tried to be good at that job and to be treated like shit still at the end pisses me off so much.
Moral of the story is that no service industry job actually gives a single shit about you and no service industry job deserves any effort at all from its employees bc no matter what they will just be treated like shit
Thanks for reading if you made it this far!
