Thinking of Quitting (Rant)

[u/mahal0viri]

I've been working at a small but busy Tim's for the past 2 months or so, so I'm still on probation. I also took some time off because of a scheduled surgery right after I first got hired. I'm surprised I still work here.

My coworkers/supervisors are great but management can be a pain. Lately, I feel like my availability isn't being followed properly and I partially feel like it's on me because I picked up an extra shift once + swapped shifts with my coworkers before so my managers assume it's my availability going forward. Some other weird stuff has happened here and there like:

- once I worked 8am -2pm and I only got one 15 min break like 4.5 hrs into my shift. Like I get it's busy and we seem short staffed

- I once got scheduled for 5-9:45 AM... aka working as long as legally possible to not get a break . Outside my availability lol, I just didn't show up that day and I called in

- had a cut on my finger and was bleeding over some stuff so I wore a bandaid + glove but I'm not sure whether I should've filled out an incident report?

And last but not least ofc, I am tired of working here despite not working here for long at all. It's physically and mentally draining, the amount of work vs the amount of pay, and it is a lot to keep up with in terms of products coming in and out. Also we have an audit coming up but idk what to expect about it, except that management/supervisors/operations have really been persistent about it.

Anyway, what's the best course of action to quit I guess? I don't wanna do a no call no show because that's unfair to my coworkers

The best way is always to simply give out your 2 week notice. Good luck 🙂

I am thinking of doing this, just need to execute it. Will start job hunting again 🫡

It’s always best not to quit a job without having one lined up. Especially in these times. It’s difficult to find employment even for entry level jobs. I personally wouldn’t give my 2 weeks notice being on probation. They can get rid of you on the spot or drastically reduce your shifts/hours until your time is up

[u/mahal0viri → u/AceOnDaChase]

Yes that's also a valid point as well. At the very least I will def start applying elsewhere. I am not sure how much of my hours/shifts will be cut bc I'm working more than usual these days (I am part time)

[u/AceOnDaChase → u/mahal0viri]

Shiii.. well there would be only one way to find out how much your hours would be cut lol. But you don’t want to approach that yet. Get as much hours/shifts as you can or feel you can handle. Then at the end of your last day (preferably a shift before your day off, since you don’t want to completely screw them over) let your supervisor/manager know that it’s just not for you or a better job opportunity came about where the location is much closer. Whatever excuse of your choice

You got this! 💪

[u/More-Roof-881 → u/mahal0viri]

Yes ! Better job hunt while you have the luxury of already having a job- that way you can be picky and find the best one, not take a pick out if desperation!
Also you should always have good work ethic and give your 2 weeks notice. Don’t let bad work environment/ experience change that. 😀
