| Topic | You guys think I should quit my job today? |
| The_Scarecrow 01/28/18 10:05:40 AM #1: | Without a 2 week notice? I work at Books A Million located at a mall. The pay is a little above minimum wage in my state which is $8.10 but I make $8.45. Anyways, I've been there for a few months now and I can't stand it anymore. Customers treat you like shit in every retail job, I understand that. However, there is so much bullshit going on with that job. I just can't do it anymore. You would think it's a book store and I wouldn't being doing too much. Just stocking books, helping people, and ringing out customers, right? Wrong. Employees clean the bathrooms. We mop both the upstairs and downstairs floor. We vacuum, sweep, and dry mop. Management will sometimes give us a tool box to actually build shit. We're asked to push around the elderly. We're asked to sell people membership cards and magazines. The magazines are a huge scam but I won't get into that. We're asked to watch customers and we are to try and stop people from stealing. There is a lot of stuff I'm leaving out but you guys get the gist. Management is incompetent. There was a time where someone found marijuana on the store floor and management tested every employee in the store that day. Since people come to the store to do drug deals sometimes, it was probably dropped by a dealer or something but nope. It had to be one of the employees! Fucking lame. Most of my coworkers treat me like garbage. They stereotype me to hell and back. I'm the black guy so I apparently do loads of drugs. I'm also the youngest one working there. I'm 20 and everyone else is over the legal drinking age so I get flak for not being able to drink legally yet. I can tell they look down on me because of the way they speak to me. One of the leads working there is always hounding me over the walkies. As soon as I finish one task she gives me, it's on to the other. One time, the store was dead and I had a seat at my register so I sat down for a few minutes. Other employees have chairs, too so I'm not the only one who sits. This same lead came and took away the chair complaining that I was a slacker even though the other employee at the register is on his phone 24/7. I have other stories like coworkers giving me their work and taking all the credit for themselves. There are coworkers who are supposed to help me do stuff like mop the floor but instead, go off to chat with other coworkers leaving me to do everything by myself. There's no point in me complaining to management because I'm fairly sure they don't like me very well, either. They blatantly make me work harder than the other employees. One time, myself and two other employees were standing around just talking since the store was dead. Management found out and pulled only me aside to give me tasks. The other two employees got to spend the last two hours just standing the same stop talking. Today, I have another 8 hour shift from 2pm to 10pm. I just can't do it anymore, CE. I don't have another job lined up right now but I've been sending in applications. I've been told you should only quit when another job is lined up but my college schedule has become a lot more heavier this semester so I'm fine with not having a job for a few weeks. This was my first job so is it usually like this? To give a little more context, we had about 10 people quit within the past month or so. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
