I know most of you were tired of hearing me drone on and on about me hating my job, so I finally quit. Sort of.
A bit of background first on why I'm leaving:
-After a year and a half, I only got one raise for 17 cents without even getting the courtesy of a evaluation from my manager. It's kind of hard to get a raise when I outlasted 3 District managers and 3 Store managers.
-The same manager has come in drunk on 2 occasions and nobody took it seriously except me.
-I have a coworker, M, who is a royal pain in the arse. I'm sure some of you remember him, so I'm not going to list my grievences about him again. But, I will say that the reason he is not gone yet is because his dad is a SM in another district. Which of course means, we cant fire him.
-I was forced to do things I wasn't hired for and never given compensation for learning them. I was hired as a stocker, but I have had to learn register, photo lab, worked in the pharmacy, and even helped with the closing manager duties.
-Finally, I'm just sick of the customers.
So next Saturday will be my last day...kinda. My manager said I could take a few weeks off by quitting and then I could reapply for my job at a higher pay rate. This sounded enticing so I took it.
After I quit:
-Celebrate my birthday on the 23rd. Yeah, 19 here I come!
-Take a trip to NYC for a few weeks and relax before school starts again.
-When I come back, then I will decide if I want to go back to working there. A few conditions would be in place of course. The main two being: I get the money that I ask for, and M must no longer work there.
-If those conditions cannot be met, I'll start apply elsewhere, but I am really getting ahead of myself.
So I'm pretty happy right now. As long as I get a better job/pay, I'll be pretty happy. Anyways, enough rambling for now.
I guess this means that I will be lurking for a while, instead of posting.
