So last night, I quit my job in a fit of rage. I've been working with my company for 3 years. Every semester when uni starts, I'm only available to work on weekends. This was never an issue before. I would get rostered to work on Saturday and Sunday - sometimes once a week if we were short on hours or whatnot - and everything was dandy.
Suddenly, it's an issue that I can't work on weekdays and as a result, I was given no shifts for a month. Basically being punished for studying at uni. The reason I was given was not available on weekends = no shifts for the week. So then I asked my manager, "we'll, I finish at the end of April, does that mean you're not going to give me a shift for two months?!" She basically told me yes and bad luck bro. No consideration into your performance at work, the effort you put on. Nope, as long as you're not available to work on weekdays then too bad.
I was so angry, it was seriously like an out of body experience. I was like I was watching myself read my manager's text message then reply saying that I was resigning at the end of the week. That was probably the most irrational thing I've ever done in my life. I normally mull over things before I make a decision on what to do. That was the last straw.
Maybe I'll wait up next month when I'm poor and regret it. Or maybe this was the universe telling me that there are bigger and better things to come. I should really listen to the universe more often. I feel like I've missed out on so many messages from it. Like, "Hey! It's a bad idea to ride that bike down that really steep hill!" and "Dude, don't listen to what your parents say. If you want to do primary education, just do it!!"
In summary, I'd just like to say a big thank you to the company I worked at for 3 years. I made some really wonderful friends and had a really great time at work. I got drunk and chundered for the first time at a work function. Work taught me not to take shit from people and to stand up for yourself by being a cold hard bitch. And it is exactly for that reason that I leave this company. Good luck and I hope your reception improves soon in the not too distant future
