3 years. That's how long I've been at Spot and I honestly just want to scream "F*** it all!" and just give my 2 weeks.
In that 3 years:
- I haven't broken the $8.00 an hour mark.
- I'm not eligible for vacation or sick days. Not for lack of trying. They just won't give me the minimum hours.
- When I request evenings off for outside-of-work engagements, they screw around with approving or denying it. I don't even request full days off. Just a few hours in the evening.
- It was just as bad when I was in school. I had to fight to get certain days off.
- It's gotten to the point where I'm mentally and physically stressed out from even the idea of working there
Other things to consider:
- I'm more than likely going to return to school next year ( some certifications or a post-Bach, most likely)
- If not school, I'm going to look for a career job.
- It's not like I would be goofing off by not working. I plan on volunteering, possibly working temp jobs for extra $, I have enough saved up for bills and expenses, etc.
- I'm extremely frugal and don't really have major splurges.
In a family where most people are bums (as is my case), it's really hammered into your head that you don't quit a job no matter what. In my case, it's not that I don't have a plan. I'm just tired of it all.
I applaud the veterans of Spot, but I don't think I can do it for much longer.
