Petty Revenge Hire

So just like most here, I've had it at my job. I can't do the recruiting anymore. People can't show up for various reasons. I don't care. If you found something better that's great. But I get why. My company has no retention. I'll be the one on that list of people who can't be retained. I had let things here and there slide. Like constantly belittling me because my pain in my lower back effected my performance. (It's an injury from an accident that won't heal and will likely keep getting reinjured.) The recruitment side of my job isn't like this but the few times I go out in the field I'm reminded why I want to leave. During my shift I found out my coworkers were sent out on a storm and the car flipped. Roads were being closed and warnings were issued not to travel by the…


So just like most here, I've had it at my job.

I can't do the recruiting anymore. People can't show up for various reasons. I don't care. If you found something better that's great. But I get why. My company has no retention. I'll be the one on that list of people who can't be retained.

I had let things here and there slide. Like constantly belittling me because my pain in my lower back effected my performance. (It's an injury from an accident that won't heal and will likely keep getting reinjured.) The recruitment side of my job isn't like this but the few times I go out in the field I'm reminded why I want to leave.

During my shift I found out my coworkers were sent out on a storm and the car flipped. Roads were being closed and warnings were issued not to travel by the city… My coworkers could have died. I was shaking and pissed.

Nearing the end of my shift, I am told I have to go to another location. I refuse as I was only scheduled for one location. But in come the threats for being written up if I refuse to go. Called the labour office to see what I could do. I figured I was in the right. They couldn't possibly tell me I have to work something I'm not scheduled for. Nope. I was wrong. It didn't feel right. To sit there feeling like a hostage because they can't be bothered to learn how to retain staff. I was shaking, again. They never threatened me before with a write up. I don't want to be dragged all over the city because they couldn't schedule more people or tell me before my shift I may need to help elsewhere. They don't even ask. Just ask nicely. I would be willing.

So not even 10 minutes after my shift I walked close by to apply at another place. I was hired on the spot. Seeing as my availability just suddenly opened up, 15 years handling cash, and that was all they needed.

I'm still mad enough to debate if I'll give my two weeks or just choose when I'm available for my old job.
