Okay now is the time to explain my last post.
Firstly, My mom went into the hospital last night. I didn't know why until after I had left work, so until then I was pretty worried about her.
So, after hearing the news I had to go into work. Once I get there the place was a mess, as usual. It wasn't even busy and the place was still falling apart. I got really upset by the mix of my mom and how stressing this workplace was. It's really an awful place. The servers show NO teamwork, the cooks are awful, etc etc.
So I asked if I could leave so I could go be with my mom. At first my manager said yes. Then she changed her mind after talking to another server (what he said to her I don't know) She threw things in my face like "his mom has cancer, mines dead". (Inside I was saying WHOA, that is messed up to say that to me, it's like she's saying I shouldnt care because other people's moms are worse?) So I promptly said to her "Carolyn this is my two weeks okay."
She followed me back inside the restaurant and made me go into her office. She said "Don't you ever threaten me like that, next time I will fire you". I said "I wasn't threatening you, I meant it". So she then said "Why dont you just leave now". She then went off about her life sucking and all this BS and kept harping on "why dont you just leave now". So I did.
I made it clear many times I was willing to work the rest of my schedule and the rest of the night. She didn't care. She wanted me gone she said. So I left. My mom turned out to be fine but still, I didnt know that yet. I was really worried, and not knowing was horrible.
This morning I called the store manager and explained it all to her and she is going to give me a job at the cocoa beach store. It's farther away but I need a job. I wont stay there long. I'm going to start looking for a new job after christmas anyway.
