i'm giving up!
Jun. 21st, 2025 05:24 pmI'm planning on putting in my two weeks on monday!!! hooray!
truthfully I have no idea what I'm gonna do afterwards - I have vague notions of places that may potentially hire me but no concrete plan. it's not the most ideal situation but the truth of the matter is i reached my limit during my shift last night and it's either leave now or work my body into a state where it no longer functions. I have taken this job seriously, showed up on time ready to put 100% into it as soon as I show up, I have committed myself to not slacking on any of my duties, and I've consistently been rewarded for that effort with a piling on of more tasks and no thanks whatsoever. occasionally, a manager would toss out an "i appreciate all your work today!" while I was tasked with closing (by myself, on our peak days, no extra help whatsoever), and that was virtually all. oh, I got a free meal as well. once.
I'm scared, of course, but I also feel so much more reassured in my decision. it's like as soon as I made up my mind, it became so much easier to stomach these upcoming weeks (in which they're scheduling me waaaay overtime because we're understaffed. lmfao.), whereas before it just felt like a horrible pit of despair. there's a light on the other side, thank god!!
regardless, I have a bit of money saved up just in case I don't find something right away... but fingers crossed!
oh god I gotta go update my resume.
