The drama of my old job and the blessing of my new job
|
The drama of my old job and the blessing of my new job It's been quite awhile since I updated. Though lack of comments made me think ah whatever, no one cares anyway. But for the rare few who are curious what's been going on, sit back and relax. I'll try to start at the beginning of the events that lead me to my current situation. I was working at the customer service of a grocery store. Wasn't horrible. I've had worse jobs. But my hours were starting to drop over the past year and I wasn't even making ends meet. Plus I wasn't originally hired to close every damn night, in fact when I first started about 2- 3 nights I only worked till 5 cause there was a woman who worked 5-7:30(closing) for a little extra money. But when she quit about a year and a half after I started, I got shoved to closing. Even on a day where I had an afternoon appointment and could work till like 1 or 2 he'd put me off. It's like he refused to let me have a dayshift. The only time I had a "dayshift" was when we were shorthanded and I'd have to work 9 or 10 am to 730pm. The one day a couple of us in the office were joking around and somehow got on the shifts topic. The office manager said something about I was hired to close and I said no I wasn't and said about how originally that woman was here a few nights a week. I didn't say it bitchy, but I was never told I would be closing every night when I was hired. She got snarky with me and said well if you don't want the hours we can find someone else. Um, chill out. That was a few months ago, probably maybe like February. I've written about how when stuff was come up short it always fell on me and the lady I closed with to pay it back. I can't tell you how much money I paid back in the 4 years I was there. My last straw with that was in early June when 2 already counted tills in the safe were short in the morning and the one I had counted the night before so it was short $10 and I had to pay it even though I knew I had counted it right and anyone in the office has access to that damn safe. Plus the same day the safe had come up $15 short which it hadn't been counted since the morning and yet it got put on me and the woman I worked with as usual. Yeah that was it. I started looking for a new job. I at first had an interview with this place that was a little more an hour than what I was currently making, but I didn't like the hours. But I was so fed up that it was better than nothing. It was a call center where people get stuff in the mail they can call and take surveys and qualify for money and stuff. I actually did get hired there but had a bad feeling for some reason. At the same time I was going through this crazy in-depth hiring process for another place that's a Veteran's call center. It's through the government. You do data entry and make appointments for veterans. It's more complicated than it sounds though. It also pays $2.15 less an hour DOUBLE than what I was making. We get paid every Friday and I bring home every week like $20 less than what I brought home in 2 weeks at the last job. I had to go through a credit check to make sure I didn't owe the government any money, a more in depth background check where I had to list stuff like my addresses for the past 10 years and people who knew me at these addresses, Mom's maiden name, etc. Had to do a drug screening. There was no actual interview cause of all the process it takes. I actually didn't know I was in for sure until the Thursday night before the Monday the training class started. So I didn't get to give my current job a 2 week notice, which at the time I felt so bad. This isn't me to do that but I wasn't passing it up just cause I couldn't give a 2 weeks. I told them Friday when I went into work cause I didn't know till I got home from work Thursday evening. The office manager which is the store manager's wife asked why I didn't at least tell them it was a possibility and I said cause I was afraid he'd hire someone and cut my hours and if it didn't work out for me I'd be so screwed. Which I didn't say this to her, but he has done that. I've seen him cut people's hours when he's mad at them instead of him putting his big boy pants on actually talking to them. So the store manager didn't say one word to me all day. Acted like a brat giving me the silent treatment. His wife also said he wouldn't be able to give me a good recommendation cause I couldn't give a 2 weeks. I should have walked out then and there. We were insanely busy that day and a cashier had called off. If I had left they would have been so fucked. And if I'd have known what was gonna happen after I was gone I so would have left them right then and there. It also pisses me off cause I'd come in on my days off, come in early, stay late, went above and beyond and that's the thanks I get? Plus she was all like she was happy I was bettering myself but that that place she heard wasn't gonna be around much longer and she hoped this wouldn't backfire on me. Which I had asked the HR person myself on the phone before I took the job and she said they have contracts for years and even if those contracts don't get renewed they shift you to another program. They don't just fire you. Their words were just biting them in the ass cause they always made remarks anyone could be replaced. Took them 3 weeks to find someone to take my position and I doubt they'll last. Once they have to start paying money back and all. Before me no one lasted that long and gee I wonder why? Before I move onto my new job I'll tell the lovely things I've heard. I was sitting outside of my new job one day during lunch and a person in a red car drove by and yelled traitor. Only 1 person who works at my past job has a red car and it's the store manager's wife, so it was probably his . Then a few days ago my mom drove by the store and got called traitor's mom. Like how immature can you be? Also when I went to pick up my last pay from them, I got a cold "welcome". The one woman walked away, the one who handed it to me I said wow last pay and she said yeah and walked away. These women were hugging me and crying my last day cause they were gonna miss me sooo much. Uh huh. My uncle has been in there a few times, they don't know who he is. The one time he heard a customer ask where I was and the store manager said I think I'm too good for there anymore. Which I didn't, but the more I hear, the more I think yep I am cause I don't act 2 faced and immature like they do. Then another time my uncle heard a different customer ask where I was and the store manager's wife said she's so sick of hearing about me. Yeah and I'm sure there's way more I'm not hearing. But whatever. I wasn't vindictive when I left. I truly felt bad not giving a 2 weeks. But now I'm like fuck off. Want to act like that? Then kiss my ass. I'm the one who pays my bills so if I'm a traitor for wanting to actually have enough money to pay them and not be behind then so be it. Plus our over 20 year old washer just finally went and we got a new one. If I wasn't making what I am now there's no way I could've afforded it. My new job is awesome. I barely deal with people. I mainly do data entry all day. I can text without getting in trouble. Take my breaks and lunch when I want. People aren't breathing down my neck. I'm not afraid of constantly doing stuff wrong. I am hardly stressed at all. I'm sleeping better and am not always tired like I used to be. Though it took some getting used to getting up so early, but I love getting out early! I actually have money to save for Hanson shows this October and I'm not totally stressed out about money. It's just such a radical change and I am so damn glad I did it! I hate changing jobs but this was so for the better! For the first time I feel blessed financially and am not crying where is money coming from for this and that. I am definitely much happier and so thankful for it. Pic of my workplace. If it disappears check back.  I sent an Angel to watch over you last night, it returned in a hurry. I asked why, it said "Angels can't watch porn." Thanks for fucking traumatizing my fucking Angel! Don't bother trying to figure me out. Not even the little voices in my head understand me. It's pointless! |

Congrats! I'm glad you have a better situation. Let's give it a little while, but if you want maybe it would be fun to screw with your old employer. Let us know who to go find, and we can all have a little fun. Embrace the suck

I'm really glad you were able to get a job you enjoy. You were putting up with a lot more than I would have at the store for a lot longer than I would have too. I am sure there is a lot less stress for you day to day now and between that and the more money I would say it sounds great for you.
