I'm actually giving serious thought to quitting my job now. It has been interfering far too much with my personal life lately - and with a pay rate of only $5.45/hr, it's not really worth keeping. I bet Billy probably gets paid more than I do (as for that issue, he apologized, and we'll leave it at that for now).

About a month ago I told them I would be out of town for the whole of Thanksgiving weekend, so I wouldn't be working on either Friday nor Saturday. For a while, the computer reflected this. Until a couple days ago, where I was pulled out of my off days and scheduled anyways. And, I'm required to work those hours, or I'm fired. Urgh.

Anyone else find this completely ludicrous? I told them, no way, no how I'd make it that weekend. And now they expect me to be there if I want to keep my job. Want to know why I'm expected to be there now?

Greg, our newest third key, just quit, even though he hasn't even been working for more than a month. He job-hopped, so that he wouldn't have to work Thanksgiving. Leaving only ME to cover for him, because our manager is a lazy ass that didn't hire the 6-7 temps a MONTH ago like he should have. Over at Lakeforest last year, we had probably 8 temps (I was one of them) so any of the regulars who needed the days off got it. But not here, apparently.

And watch us not get any temps for Christmas, either. I should plan on quitting before then.

Apparently, bad management is a curse for all of us here. Josh recently quit his 4-year long job at Best Buy for the same reason. And he worked enough hours there that he actually had a 401k plan.
