They cut me loose

Jun 11, 2023 21:35


So, I have some crazy news, today I got suspended from my job. I am not the least bit disappointed because I had seen it coming. It has been a long time coming, to be honest. So, yesterday I called out sick because the weather was crappy and I didn't feel like going in. That was my last strike, according to the "new" attendance policy. Which I think is utter bullshit. Ever since the new manager came to the store everything has been by the book and more strict than before. We can't get away with anything. As soon as Chuck and Hayley left that store went downhill. Especially in my department and the Deli department too. Now, there's a new manager that has taken over, his name is Nate. He is basically the male version of Missy. I have not been able to catch a break, even after I opened up to Meg (the ARM) of the store. Iykyk. I told her about my strenuous situation at home and they still decided to suspend me. It's not right. Yes, I have taken responsibility for all the times I've called out and I am aware of my absences, but many of them were for my mental health- or I was really sick-or the weather. I guess they look at all those as excuses to not come in. I don't see how it's so damn easy for everyone else. Oh yeah, that's right, everyone else LOVES to work there. But for me, it's been torture. And by the way, I am not going to forget the fact that I've been planning on quitting for a while. I was going to do it next month. After my fifth anniversary. But, it looks like they cut me loose a little earlier. I also have some really messed up info that I found out after I left the store this afternoon. So, my friend Zack from work told me that Nate didn't tell anyone that I was suspended just that I "Went home for the rest of the day" WOW. Just wow. I really don't know what to say to that. I wonder if anyone else knows what really happened? Once they find out I'm sure they will be confused and want an explanation. I hate to leave them hanging like that too. I know it's not fair, especially because there are not that many people who work the night shifts.  But, I'm also curious to know how fast they are going to try to fill my spot and find someone to replace me. But, that's the most humorous part about this-they won't be able to because no one has been hired in our department- no one wants to work in our department. And that says a lot about the company, not the employees. I'm not too worried to hear from them about whatever they decide. I'll just have the one thing they can never take away from me now, my dignity. And with that said, I am finally free. For five years I've let this job define me and give me purpose, but I need to find my REAL purpose. I know that I am supposed to do something so much bigger in this lifetime. And I am not going to stop until I find out what that is.
