For anyone who has either heard me talk about my job, or knows someone in retail, then you might have heard how horrible it is lol.

I had a manager who insulted me deeply and also, when I was overwhelmed with things, told me to "fix it" and was constantly making fun of other people.

It came to a point where they were over scheduling me, and I finally couldn't take it. I called out due to a snow storm, and they called me in to the office the day after to yell at me, and I walked into the office, looked the main store manager in the face and said "two weeks" and walked out.

That was 2 weeks ago.

Today was my last day at my job, and that bitchy manager said "good luck" to me, as well as getting a hug from one of the coordinators, Alyssa

. Everyone said bye and one person made me "pound" their wrist xD .

While I will miss the employees who work there, I won't miss the wicked witch of the west, the general store manager

.

o yeaaa is it when you have to work for 2 weeks before you can quit?

Tim · 3rd Jan 2009, 03:21 PM

Yes, however, most companies have a grace period. If you choose to cut ties with the company within the first week, you do not require a 2 week notice.

That's why when I got a manager from hell, I quit in 2 days. And yes, it was in retail. She was just like your manager. Overscheduling me, (Yes, in 2 days. I had ~30 min of training, and BOOM 8 hour shift ALONE in a department. Get back the next day, ANOTHER 8 hour shift ALONE.) Trend continued the ENTIRE week, yes, she scheduled me for 56 hours in the first week. Which I didn't even know was freakin legal.

So yea, good job on standing up for yourself

Congrats on getting out of that hell hole!

I know how you feel, I work in retail and the managers can be super bitchy. We have so many people quitting that it's insane. We always manage to find someone to replace them. The Retail Cycle is such a headache.
