I QUIT I QUIT I QUIT! YAYYYY!!!!

I finally did it. I quit work. My manager rang me today asking if there was anyway I could possibly start 2 hrs earlier making a 4 pm start. I just can't do it. Shayne doesn't get home til 5  on the nights I work and even later on the days i'm not plus he is having to go in on Saturdays at the moment. Then suggested maybe working weekends. Geez do you just want to take away what little "family" time we get together. It is ridiculous. Her reason being labour module (A part of the stupid program called accelerator) which says how many hours a day she has to spread out between staff. It basically means someone is on their own from 4pm - 6 pm on the days I work. Never mind I am on my own from 6pm - midnight. Umm hello. Where is the fairness. Then she went on to complain at me at how poorly I performed on Tuesday night because my customer count wasn't high enough to not get stuff done. I am not allowed to leave the console area when I am on my own if there is some one in the store and fair enough, but how do I get stuff done when you have ppl wondering around for 30mins deciding what they want. I just told her I can't work under these conditions it wasn't fair and ifthat is what is expected of me then i would have to resign. I didn't blame her and expressed my understnding of how frustrating it must be to loose all your staff because your hands are tied on how many ppl work when and what they are "assigned" to do. It is really this accelerator program. I feel sorry for her. She also turned around and said if I go for another job she would be more than happy to write me a really good reference letter. She also understands my situation with Anthony and not having the option of working days etc etc because she has been there and done that herself and is still struggling with her own personnel issues. Now i just have to tell Shayne. My last shift will be the Friday 18 of July. I am pretty proud of myself though. I nearly stuck it out for a year. It's been a long and hard road but it's now a dead end and I need to find a new path. YAy yay yay!

Re: I QUIT I QUIT I QUIT! YAYYYY!!!!

sometimes the system just preys and the ones that they know are reliable.

unfortunately systems dont work because all this time you have been carrying the work of others

what is a 6pm to minight on your own as you say?  where is the  health and safety  rules in place?

what if something had happened to you ? collapsed or something  who would have been there to call emergency?

its a bit one sided if you ask me

cheers annie

You must feel so empowered and relieved!  It sure is time for you to find a new path and there are so many choices, the hard part will be deciding which one.  BTW, your new avatar is just gorgeous, all new and happy you!

Cool, doing the same here. Have cut my hours down for the school holidays and searching for a new path. Feel so much the same. My own family needs me. Hope it all goes well and you find a better path to take. All the best, Lynette xx

Good for you!  Now take some time to sort YOU out and enjoy not having to be at the beck and call of a boss.  Oh, you are a mum, so that might be a little on the hard side! lol.

Well done, and you didn't give her any greive about it either as it is not her that is the problem.  Probably the system sucks, right???
