I am absolutely miserable. To say I loathe coming to work would be a heavy understatement. I know that I am not happy, and to be quite honest, I think my job knows I am on the brink of quitting. How much much would you do for $3.50 an hour? Plus tip pool…. between 200 people.
I am a bartender at a country club, and I am only allowed to have my tip jar out for non-member events. Why? Because the members complained, and said, “We pay to be here, so we shouldn’t have to tip.” My bosses will tell me to take my tip jar DOWN. What am I even doing there if I’m not making money? I’m a new mom, and have to make sure my family is taken care of… and I will do that at any cost. But I’m pretty much breaking even, if that…. I don’t want to come back. I am hiding in the work bathroom typing this, actually. Please help me find the courage to be happy and quit. I want to start my own business. I don’t want to be walked over anymore.
