just putting this up here to let everyone know that I have put in my two weeks notice at Big Dogs. let me tell you why. I don't like what I've become while working there, or for that matter what the other employees have become. The only thing this job ever sparked between myself and a former friend was competition, not so much in myself because I never really cared for the job, but in him. And I guess it drove him to a point where he began to hate me, so I began to hate him. Appearntly when I got promoted before him (only because I turned 18 first) he took it very personally (even though he couldn't get the job) and never failed to forget to mention that the only reason I had the job was because i was 18 first. Despite the fact that I didn't care this began to annoy the shit out of me, so I began to notice the things that if he weren't friends with the manager he probably would have gotten written up for, for example only because this is the one that annoyed me the most, being late almost every time he worked with me. I'm sure there are things that i should have been written up for but because I am friends with the manager as well I didn't, in fact I can think of one off the top of my head because it was my fault and I should have known better. So to reiterate on what I've become, it seems that the tension which has been growing has turned me into one of those people that talks behind peoples backs excessivly, and I can't stand that. If I were just blowing off steam I probably wouldn't have gotten as mad at myself as I have, but it got to the point where I would say stuff to try and convince who i was talking to, to think that way. So, before even more bad things happen to myself, or because of my action I've decided to leave the job in a somewhat peaceful manner, it all depends on how my manager and the other employees actually take my leaving. Not like it's that big a deal anyway since with the move I was going to be leaving the job by mid april anway, so one month early shouldn't hurt to much, I just gotta stop spending money, which should be easy without the job, considering it was costing me almost more than I was earning.
