Some general bs is causing me to become frustrated with my job. Managers are sending me home early and telling me not to come in to work on some days for no apparent reason, in a very stressful time in my life where I'm depending on every dollar I can make. I didn't get a promotion that I feel I rightfully deserved, and to make it worse one of the people who did get promoted is an annoying cunt who takes her job too seriously and acts like a manager. So keeping in mind that management is so quick to keep me out of work, I call up and ask if they think the store will be busy enough for them to need me to come in for a 3 hour shift tonight. I have a day off tomorrow so I wanted to drive back to my hometown tonight and visit some friends and family.

But, of course, they need me to "help close" tonight. It's fucking frustrating because they're always willing to send me home on days where I'm ready and fully capable to work, but won't do me this favor on what will be another slow night. Getting increasingly tired of working my ass off to get that promotion and staying away from home for the summer so I could work and make money, only to stay being paid a dime above minimum wage and get my hours cut for no reason.

Fucking hell this stuff pisses me off sometimes, this is what keeps me motivated to opening my own business.

Sorry for the blog, just gotta let stuff out sometimes. Mostly posting this hoping for any sort of advice but y'all can share experiences you've had as well.

Have you tried telling them this?

Yeah, I brought it up with one of the managers and he told me he'd have the store operator talk with me about it, but she has yet to schedule a conference with me or anything. This was about a month ago.

Sucks, man.

Have you tried memeng them?

I would expect no more from working in fast food.

I'd work a back breaking warehouse/industrial job before I applied at a fast food joint. At least the industrial job would pay.

It'd pay more, but pickers/forklift operators don't really bring in anything to brag about.

I had a job washing dishes for an all-you-can-eat buffet/restaurant once. It was hell.

That sounds like hell, I bet if you did that here you'd never stop washing dishes because of the sheer amount of fat asses in those restaurants

It was a Sizzlers. We went home hours after the rest of the staff. And literally masses of wasted food I saw.

I don't know what the conditions are there for getting a job, but if they are similar to here, I would suggest looking for a job before quitting your current one.

I bet it's frustrating for you. Honestly, i don't think I'll get my availability changed by the time summer school starts even though I was promised by the schedule manager. It's still fast food, and people are going to screw you over whether it's intentional or not. I have to deal with this fuckhead who rubs the fact that he talks to my damn ex almost every shift in a passive aggressive way.

Do what you think is right.

All these niggas know the Post is what you want most

*sips tea*

Do what my Dad does, always job search even when you have a job.

That way when something goes to shit (inevitable in life these days, particularly where I live), you're already covered and a job interview is a phone call away.

I'd have a look around elsewhere to see what's available just before/if you quit, otherwise you'll be sitting on your arse feeling pretty down with no income while you wait for a new job to sign up for.
