Yesterday I recieved my official letter of acceptance in the mail for school, I was pretty excited about that. Still hammering out the details on paying for this, but it looks like it will happen.
I quit my job on Saturday as well. Jesus, that felt good. Months of dealing with shit like fighting for a raise, getting "promoted" to a job with more responsibiility and 10x the stress but still getting paid the same, having my life micromanaged by a militant lesbian. It's all over and thank god. I feel used by that place, like a street hooker getting turned out. The gap in pay between the people I made money for and the money I actually made was immense. The final straw was when I was promised my holiday bonus and then was declared ineligible for it last month. Best Buy has a good reputation for treating their employees well, however I have found is that shareholders come first, the people who do the work come last. Why pay an actual empleyee their promised bonus when you can increase every share of stock $0.000001 by fucking them?
Oh well! At least George Bush is president and will fight corporate corruption!! oh wait, nevermind...
