i'm quitting my job and moving back in with my parents
working conditions have gotten increasingly worse since i moved out of my parents house about a year ago, and these past few days enough shit has happened that i'm just fucking done.
so i'm a supervisor at a store, im in charge of the food department. i get pulled into the managers office saturday and told that because i'm apparently getting food out of the back and into the front faster than the last guy, i'm being sent 60% more food now and will be expected to get it all out. now, do you think i'm being paid 60% to do this? do you think i'm even being paid more at all? no, my pay hasn't even been adjusted to match inflation from last year. lmao.
after i moved out the store hired a guy who has groped me more times than every other person here has touched me anywhere combined. also he's fucking stalked me to my apartment so that's fun too. also also he got promoted to being a supervisor same time i did so i have to deal with him full time. awesome. also also also in the morning today (as i'm writing this, july 28), he groped another one of my coworkers too.
the guy who is technically my boss but not really called me off of lunch like 5 minutes early which is enough to be annoying but not enough to really care, but afterwards fucking followed me around the store getting increasingly pissy with me about the fact that he called me to the front during my lunch. i just told him to leave me alone and drop it and he kept fucking going, and eventually i just straight up asked "what's your fucking problem?" and he got all boomer pearl clutchy and said "i don't know why you have an attitude with me young lady but i will not put up with it". sorry bro i broke the constant fucking customer service smile because you kept following me around pissing and shitting and crying about your fuckup. then he went over and talked shit about me to the guy who was working the registers. like i'm right there dude i can hear you.
corporate decided about 2 months ago that every single day there needs to be people in the store at the early morning no matter what (almost, see next paragraph) no exceptions. you'll still be working closing shifts too so just get fucked, enjoy constantly shifting between waking up at 4 am and going to bed at 12 am.
the guy who's technically my boss but not really is the exception, and it's annoying because he also takes an hour and a half to close the fucking store. i have to be awake at 4 am tomorrow, i realize you haven't had to get up before noon in 6 months but i'd like to get home sometime tonight so i can maybe kind of get some fucking sleep asshole.
literally all but 1 of my coworkers misgender me all the time. it doesn't get to me too much cause i'm pretty used to it but i'm complaining about my job i might as well complain about this part too.
in january the dock broke and corporate took several months to fix it, and we were expected to continue unloading trucks as if nothing was wrong. we were like, making ramps out of broken pallets and shit to unload. this was really when i started getting sick of the bs and started pressing corporate on when they were gonna fix this, and they kept deflecting blame to the company that makes the parts saying it needs to be made to order. well, you should've fucking thought about that before opening the store here, and you didn't, so what the fuck is your plan to keep someone from getting seriously injured doing kickflips in tony hawks pro pallet jack operator? oh you don't have one, and we need to continue operating as if nothing is wrong? ok.
in terms of how i'm feeling i'm just generally tired and miserable all the fucking time, and in specifically a sleep deprived way. this isn't like school when i wanted to kms i need to go to fucking bed but i can't because i need to go to work or buy groceries or cook food or wash my clothes, etc and shit's so goddamn expensive regardless, and it's not like i can use my free time to sleep really because if i don't ever go outside and talk to people or even just watch a fucking youtube video every once in a while or something then why the fuck am i even doing this if all i'm doing is working. working and getting ready for work takes up so much of my life and getting up to do anything is a struggle because i'm so fucking tired all the goddamn time. it's at the point where i've just outright collapsed a few times and i had to head home early last week because i was hallucinating. i can't keep doing this shit and unlike all the times i've sent that exact message to people i turned the notice that i'm quitting earlier today (again, as i'm writing this, july 28). this shit just is not worth $11/hr.
