So I found out on Tuesday that I'll be unemployed after Monday. The kiosk got shut down unexpectedly, as in they found out Monday they had until Wednesday to be out. So I was sent to work at Northland on Tuesday when the District Manager comes into the store with the manager of the Market Mall store. She motions for me to come to the stock room with her and I was given the news, followed by me signing a letter of termination saying my last day is the 5th. She did say she'd try to find something but at this point I get the feeling I'll have better chances finding a new job.
Seems all the post secondary students working part time all went full time, coupled with the sudden shut down of the kiosk really messed things up. Figures just after my benefits with them kicked in. But I guess with me only working for the company for just over 3 months I probably had no seniority. They said it had nothing to do with my job performance but I just don't know anymore.
The biggest thing that I gotta work on is being reliable without being a pushover. I've gone in on my days off, stayed later, came in earlier and even gone to other stores just to save someones butt somewhere for some reason. Yet the only thing I've really gotten in return other than my pay is a couple of times I needed off, off and even then I had to stand up for it. They ignored my availability anyways, I had to ask once to change my shift for a Tavern, twice I've had to ask someone to get it there for me. And the rest I've just lucked out so far. It did kill my social life off entirely but now I've been gaining it back slowly.
Another thing I've been worried about is the fact I've been losing a noticeable amount of weight. I'm guessing I've been under quite a bit of stress lately yet I don't feel like I am. But there's been so much instability in the last 5 months or so that I figure that's why. Since I've been working major retail chains at malls my sleep schedule and eating habits have gone haywire. I dunno maybe in time things will finally settle down and I'll feel like I'm actually getting somewhere in life instead of feeling completely lost.
