I quit my job.
Over the weekend I called my manager on his cell because there were no managers at the store high enough to take a resignation. I was working at a big box home improvement center with red vests. The new computerized scheduling system has me working over what was my availability, on hours that don't match what I was hired for, for shifts that cost me money to do as I drove an hour too and from work. With less than 8 hours between shifts happening. They also apparently screwed up my tax with holdings when they switched systems last year. So Yay now they really did cost me money. I unfortunately couldn't afford to give my two weeks notice as it would have literally cost me more than going to work and with the shear amount of people leaving the store I am wondering how long it will last. At last count we were at around 70% staffed due to these changes, and I knew of at least 10 other people who were looking to jump ship.
Its amazing when a place that lists "Flexible schedule" as a bonus for working there goes down to the point where they are demanding people work when they have other jobs, or when they have to pick up kids from school. For me it was more I was garunteed in writing a minimal number of hours per shift to offset the hour long drive. But when they try to use me to cover 2 hours for peoples lunches and get angry that I won't do it. And handily lose the paper that had my agreement on it.
Sorry for rambling and poor formatting, I'm just stressed.
