I’ve been working at this small local cafe for about 3-4 months now, and I recently found out that I’m still considered as an independent contractor. My coworker who got hired a month after me, told me she has been getting paid more and has officially become a part-time worker. Not only am I annoyed by this, but the owner of the cafe has been treating me like shit. I had difficult time learning the menu and the recipes in the beginning, and she would constantly compare me with other co workers. In the beginning I felt awful that I just couldn’t seem to be doing anything right, and it was so frustrating because I really was trying my best. But after finally having some shifts with my co workers, I realized that it was just a shitty place to work at. The owner didn’t start giving us tips until someone called her out on it, we’re constantly understaffed, we get no breaks at all, she always asks people to come in out of their availability, etc.
I managed to get myself an interview next week, and I don’t know if I should even bother to turn in my two weeks, or just wait til I get the job and just email her saying I won’t be coming in anymore.
