Look, Lori, I've worked at Belk for close to two years and have never had the problems that I am having now. You know that I am a full time student, and you know I asked not to work every Friday Saturday and Sunday. Yet you scheduled me again for today and I told you yesterday that I couldn't do it, that I had too much homework to do. But to stop myself from getting fired for not calling in today, I called in and said, "Look, I didn't find anyone to cover my shift, but I still can't come in." And I know you're retarded, but to say, "So you're calling out?" is just beyond you. Anyway, "Yes, there's nothing I can do about it, I have a twelve page paper to write." "You know we'll have to dock you on that." she said. And I just repeated myself. "There's nothing I can do. I have too much homework." Don't get all high and mighty because I have school work that I have had to put off until today because of you stupid people anyway. Everyone else there seems to understand that I can't, I can not, work every weekend because I have to have time to do my school work too. You don't schedule me on Mondays OR Wednesdays either, God knows why. And Friday you have me from six to nine when I can work a one to nine shift? What the fuck? And I asked off Saturday, I'm not coming in when you have me scheduled, I asked off for a reason! So I'll have three hours this week? Awesome, you fucking rock. I'm so glad I handed in my two weeks' notice yesterday, and I know you're just being a bitch because you're mad that I'm quitting (even though you're usually a bitch anyway), but whatever. You'll be sorry that I left because I knew what I was doing, I did what I was asked, and I've called in four or five times in the nearly two years I've worked there and never once have I lied about why I was calling in, either. Not that I wouldn't, I'm just saying that I haven't. I wish that I didn't want to come back in the summer so that I could have left a more accurate letter for you assholes, and it would have said something along the lines of what this post says. But it would have had greater detail. Like that I shouldn't have to kiss your ass to be respected. I shouldn't have to beg for a weekend day off to do fucking homework. I shouldn't have to be made to look like an asshole in front of the customers. I should be able to call the store manager and get help on the register. I should be able to call the manager on duty and get through to them. I should get my schedule at least four days before the new week starts, not the afternoon before the next new week. I should have my requests paid attention to. But since none of that is the case, I'm leaving your sorry asses and everyone else is going to leave you too eventually because everyone hates you and no one likes how it's running and only the old Proffitt's people, who are favored by you anyway, would be left. And my raise still isn't on my paycheck. So fuck you, Belk, but especially Alan and Lori and today, especially Lori.
