Went back to a job I used to have 2 years ago,
different location but same job.
Main reason for going back was to have something stress free or maybe less stress than some of the jobs I've had since. So it's only been 3 weeks and from week one I was asking for a demotion or transfer from the higher ups since I was a lower manager and super overworked and stressed. I've heard nothing but “stick with it” and other motivational poster quotes. (You'll be promoted after a while etc). I've tried telling 4 levels of management it's too much to run a whole retail store often alone aside from some cashiers who can't leave their registers. The other day I called in the day before and it was no big deal. Today I go back to work and get cornered by 3 higher up people attempting to chew me out in front of others. Again ask to be demoted or moved to another store or part time. Just anything thats not this. Guy says no you have to prove yourself to me before I would even demote you(makes no sense) or move you to a different store. Guy says no matter where you apply within the company I'll block it. This makes no sense to me because if I'm admitting to you I'm not competent enough to do the job I'd think you'd want to move me to something less important.
TL;DR I'm unreliable as a manager and upper management didn't believe me. They want me to work harder to prove I deserve a demotion so I quit outright
