I quit my job.
Added 2022-10-27 17:35:56 +0000 UTCAs some of you may know from instragram, yesterday I put in my leaving notice and quit my job.
On Monday I was on my 11,5h shift at work. I was running around the store, doing orders, cleaning, organizing things on the shelves. Apparently this wasn't enough. It's never enough in this store. No matter how hard you work, you can always work harder, accoring to my boss obviously.
Anyway, I was happy with how much I did during my shift, but on Tuesday, my day off, my manager (not my boss) texted on our work group on Messenger app, telling that me and the girl I was on the shift, didn't do anything. She took some pictures of missing prices on the shelves and a little bit of stuff that wasn't unpacked yet, sent those pics to us and asked what were we doing that day.
She said that what I did could have been done in 3 hours, not the whole day. Used some swear words saying we are lazy and slacking etc etc.
This was enough for me. Even tho my boss said I did a good job (on two occasions), her saying that was the last straw. I've been busting my ass, doing so much (we are understaffed) and now I am getting shit for SOME things that hasn't been done that day. It's a big store. There's always gonna be something that's not gonna be done at the end of the day. I also think that they have been blaming me for most things that weren't done during certain days, basically making me a scapegoat, which was hinted at me by a coworker.
I put in the notice, my boss didn't even ask why, just basically said "okay" and that's that. My manager later asked "why this sudden decision" and without looking at her I said "it wasn't sudden. It has been building up for some time now".
I will be working there until the end of December, but I am happy that I quit. It's a bad workplace with people talking behind your back. I wonder what the 2023 will bring but I am happy that I have you guys and that you support me, so thank you so much. Your support definitely did help me quit my job, knowing that thanks to you here and my viewers on YouTube I am financially safe.
I wanna get a part time job for sure and spend the extra time filming better content. Thanks to that I will have more time, but if a full time job somehere nice and non-toxic, prefferably without speaking to customers, happens to be walking by, I'll ask it out. If you know what I mean :P

Well damn! Sorry to hear your day job was so awful, but happy to hear you’ve made the move to get away from that drain on your mental health. It’s been only a few years since I exited a toxic work situation and it’s kind of amazing to look back at how gross it truly was now that I’m in a far better place with people who value me. As years pass, that insane boss is going to look even more insane in the rear view 😅

2022-10-27 22:47:24 +0000 UTCCongrats! This is the best news I could ever hear from you. I did something similar 3 years ago, quitting a horrible job after 22 years, and trust me, you will feel amazing after that very last shift. A huge weight will literally feel lifted off your shoulders. Great decision!

2022-10-27 18:47:40 +0000 UTCToxic workplace will forever be toxic if change doesn’t happen. I’ve dealt with favoritism and harassment in the past and it got to the point where I had to put my mental health first. I’m proud of you for making the scary but necessary decision to leave. I’m thankful for our community of people we have that we can offer you some safety and support. We will always be here for you, if not here we will be in the YouTube comments or the dms. The love and support is immense. May big and bright things come for you soon. 🫶☺️

We are all here for you and I’m sure you’ll find inventive ways to boost your followers and generate a bit more from each of us. The sky’s the limit. Onwards and upwards! 😘
