Recently I had the audacity to look tired at work (my shifts drastically varied that week from being very late to early morning) and my manager threatened to cut my hours. I explained the issue but got told manager doesn’t control the schedule. If I lose more hours it wouldn’t be worth it to show up. So I decided to casually look for other jobs, nothing serious because I’ve dealt with worse behavior so it wasn’t urgent. Got hired almost on the spot at a new store offering $2 more per hour. New boss even joked he doesn’t care how I look as long as I show up on time.
Had a private laugh when she gave me attitude for only giving 1 week notice. Maybe if you controlled the schedule and didn’t put me for all morning shifts I’d be more inclined to help out. Ah well, I’d rather be making more money for less stress anyway!
Thank you antiwork for introducing me to the “that’s not very labor shortage if you” mentality, I’m much happier at my new job.
