Tldr: thinking about quitting my job and need advice on how to be firm about it to my boss
Hey everyone, just wanted to ask for some advice here from people who may have experience with situations like this.
I’m a 19M working at a gas station off a highway, and to say it’s a constant burden and rush would be an understatement as we’re constantly on our feet to customers coming in practically every second.
The thing is, this is just a summer job for me as I am a college student looking to make some money over the summer, as I’ve been working since May, just until my classes are eventually going to start, so I’m trying to push through the mental and physical grind of doing this job.
Anyways, I’ve been thinking about quitting this job for about a month now, and trying to think exactly when in august I wanted to quit. I was originally thinking the 25th, but now I’m thinking about making it the 11th. The reason for making it earlier is because ever since I’ve been working here, I constantly have my notifications being blown up, from the group chat, even when I mute and delete it, and it’s constantly about people calling out, not showing up for work/being late, and not doing their part of maintaining the place clean, etc and leaving it for the next shift.
Every week there’s always someone calling out, meaning someone is forced to work extra hours, and even on their day off, including me. I’ve finally had enough to the point where enough is enough and i made my decision to quit earlier than anticipated as said.
Here’s the thing tho, my boss who works the same shift as me has been a great guy and boss to me, and he’s never really given me a hard time. I let him know over text about me quitting and telling him about my college coming up soon, and the constant people calling out and not doing their part of the job of keeping the store and gas station clean, and he said he would talk to me more about it on Monday.
Im currently scheduled to work 3 days this week, but im willing to work all 5 days if I have to considering im making this my last week here, so I won’t mind taking a little more bs from my workplace.
My question is, I have a feeling my boss is going to try and talk me into working another week or 2, even though I’m practically fed up with this place, I literally have no mental or physical energy left to keep enduring with this bs, and at this point I’d like to get out of there for good, even if it means making a little less than expected by the end of this month. How do I stand my ground and let him know that this Friday is the last day I’ll work, even though my boss has been good to me and I don’t wanna seem like I’m screwing him over?
Thanks for any advice
