That's it. I've had it.
Monday night I was written up for, essentially, not doing the work of about three people. There were two of us covering softlines, and somehow, management still thinks it should all look perfect. I pointed this out, but still we're supposed to do it. Even with five (really, the fewest number to do a decent job) people the customers still come in and screw everything we've done up, really, so WTF are they THINKING? (Oh, wait, thinking isn't part of what these companies do, is it?) We're so understaffed it isn't funny, and they have hired exactly ONE person for Christmas. Two of our regulars are out on long-term leave for various excellent reasons, but they can't bring anybody in even temporarily to replace them.
I have some physical issues that make it difficult enough for me to do this job to begin with without them demanding the impossible!
Also, this comes suspiciously soon after I turned in a doctor's note with some limitations. My parents think they're setting me up to fire me. My lawyer boyfriend only half-jokingly thinks I should sue them. I don't want to do that, it'd take forever and be expensive and ugly and I don't think I really have a case because they already have it in their records that I was written up for poor job performance. Bastards.
So, tomorrow I'm giving notice. I don't have another job lined up. I'm going to take some computer classes and get an office job. Meanwhile I have my disability income to fall back on. I'm quitting anyway. It's that, or things will keep going the way they are and they'll fire me. I'd like to leave with my dignity intact, thank you very much!
