  • To Quit or Not to Quit? (ranting wordage)

    Right now it’s like a mass exudes. About half the staff is leaving either because of the working conditions or of the mangers. Listed below are some of the reasons to quit.

    (1) Perpetual whining for people who have quit to come back or to come in on your days off. It’s rare not to be called.

    (2) Training someone with a till your not allowed on.

    (3) When trying to move around shifts so that I can get my extra training in for another line, the manger comes over and pitches a fit when I try and move someone else to a day shift. She says that they’re have been people here longer that deserve day shifts. Well thanks a lot, for the 3 weeks straight of closing. I’ve been there longer then some of the other people who have exclusively day shift.

    (4) Expecting to know everything. Not a telepath.

    (5) Starting to get singled out. Group of people standing around, guess who gets yelled at.

    (6) Feeling like they hate me. One of the mangers shivering, so offered my jacket. She’s a mite little thing. Absolutely refused it and yells at me to find something to do.

    (7) Paying the newbie’s a lot more money that the people who have worked here longer and without a pay raise. And who have consistently shown up for work AND completed their training.

    (8) Not giving me any training shifts on the last line I don‘t know. It’s been over 6 months.

    (9) Treat me like an equal. Not as a lobotomy patient.

    (10) Rude, dumbass customers.

    (11) Physical Ailments connected with the job. Mostly icky skin rashes.

    (12) Working overtime without overtime pay!!

    (13) Working more than 11 hours with only a 30 min break!

    (14) Giving promotions to people who must count money and keep a good record of money but is consistently under in their till!! One supervisor shift they were missing $200!!

    (15) Extreme favoritism. To the nth degree. You’d shake your head at how bad it is.

    Also school is starting soon and I still need another $1000. Since I’m crossed trained on every line except one, a friend of mine says that I can write my ticket to any of the same restaurants as she is doing. She is getting paid almost as much as the mangers at this place, at the new job.

    Reasons to stay.

    (1) Where getting a high speed debt connection.

    (2) Might be getting touch screen till.

    (3) Like most of the people there.

    (4) Am well trained in their policies and procedures.

    (5) Most of the regulars are really nice.


    Is it better to quit or stay?

    You have 15 reasons to leave and 5 reasons to stay. The maths seems obvious to me.

    Two of the reasons to stay are that you like the staff - it is my experience that you will like many people wherever you work. And you can also keep in touch with anyone you are friends with.

    Don't stay somewhere you really don't like - life is too short.

      As RK said in another thread, Loyalty has no place in business. It's cut and dry: The job sucks and you've got a better offer. Time to make like a ball and bounce.

            Labor law violations = You're outta there.

            No way should you ever stay at any place that refuses to pay for time worked.

            And with another job already lined up? I'd be gone so fast there'd be an Andara-shaped vacuum left behind.

              Touch screens are neat-o but they don't outweigh feeling like a second-class citizen and labor law violations...hell, if the overtime without overtime pay and 11 hours with only 1/2 hour break are something they expect on a regular basis, that's worth reporting to the appropriate people. Those things are illegal and you would probably be doing every employee a favor (you might be able to do it anonymously).
