Default I quit my job

Well yesterday I quit my job, I was a cook, I got so fustrated, I was only getting scheduled for 1 day a week for only 8 hrs. The drive to my job was 25 miles round trip, it was not worth my gas to drive all the way there for only a one 8 hr. day. Meanwhile all the teenagers were being scheduled for 5 days a week. Not to mention the teenagers that worked in my area were supervisors, that didn't know how to do their job. One Supervisor 19 yrs. old kept leaving every 15 minutes to go and smoke, another who didn't smoke would go with him and sit there for an hour (on the clock), then one 17 year old would start throwing food at everyone and start a food fight, the kids who ran the food to the customers (hot box) would get involved and then they would put me behind cooking because they couldn't keep their hot box filled because they were playing too much. Then come back to me and yell at me for their box being empty, when it was there own fault. I had kids taking food that I have cooked and eat it right out of the pan it was getting served to customers in. I complained to my manager but he did nothing. no one did. several of the young supervisors told us that they were a supervisor and they didn't have to work WHAT!!??? Man it must be nice to get paid to do nothing and to get paid to smoke. These are kids that will be in charge of our future. I am praying that I made the right decision, I feel bad because we really needed the money in the house, but like I told my hubby I wasn't even making anything for one day, because that paid for only my gas. I still feel bad. The good thing is I got a cake order, I haven't baked in 6 months since I started working outside my home. So I am nervous. Now I have plenty of time to get back to baking, now I just have to find a way to get the money up to start. UGH! Thanks for letting me vent ladies I feel better. Now back to my cake.

sounds like that was loooooooong over due. When 1 door closes a window opens else where!

So go enjoy making that cake and know God has it all under control...

Wow, that really sucks!! I'm sorry to hear that you were put in such a junky situation. Don't worry. It will all work out for the best. Everything happens for a reason, so that just means that something better is on the horizon!

I agree, when a door closes a window opens somewhere! I'm sure something really great will happen!

I agree with everyone else has said. My hubby recently got laid off and at first I was freaking out but actually he will be making the same with unemployment because he no longer has the long commute. His side business has been keeping him busy too like my Mom said it could be a blessing in disguise.

Unbelievable the kids these days!! Wait! Didn't they say that about us? I don't think you need the aggravation. There must be something better near home. Good luck!

It doesn't sound like you were even making enough to cover your gas anyway. Why put yourself through the agony and disrespect when you deserve better. Those kids will get theirs... what goes around comes around.
Best of luck to you.

It sounds like you did the right thing. Sometimes it is not worth the headache not to mention the gas to get there. I work with some similar problems, but not quite as extreme, so I know the frustration of trying to do your job when others don't seem to be held accountable for anything. I hope all goes well with your family and that you find a way to get your cake business going.
