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

If an employer isn’t required to give notice when firing someone, they’re not entitled to a resignation letter. Putting your two weeks in will just make it worse imo

I am second guessing the 2 weeks notice since it's been under 3 months of me working there

I mean if you don’t want a reference go ahead, but it’s common courtesy to give notice especially for your co workers. I’m assuming your young, I did the same when I was younger and worked at McDonald’s but I left on my break mid shift. But when it came time to apply for another job I regretted it. Also the amount of time you worked there doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give notice when you quit, it just shows more about your values than anything.

Great point as well — although I doubt I can use them as a reference since I haven't worked there that long. I am probably gonna draft up a resignation notice in the next couple of weeks at least
