I have been working at this job for 6months. I work from 10am-3pm, i like the schedule and its m-f..i cut lettuce, make sandwiches, prep, do dishes, etc. Its not difficult, but when it gets busy, it can be very crazy! I don't get along with the cook or this other lady that works there, and the boss is sort of a bitch..she almost made me come into work one time, while sick..she didn't believe me..and we work with food so come on! another time she didn't let me take off two days from work to go on a trip..i was suppose to miss friday and monday..again we work in a deli, and i gave her a two weeks notice and she said that wasn't enough time..anyways i don't get along with the cook because he is rude, disrespectful, and in other words an ass! he is very insulting, and the other lady is dominican, and she can be mean and rude, impatient...my sister gets along with her ..they are always joking around, but since the first day i met her, i could not stand her! she wasn't very nice to me..sometimes we talk, but i think we are both being hypocrits, i try to get along with her but i don't know why, when she talks crap about me with the cook..im not the fastest person, my thinking process is slow, but im not an idiot..I do the best that i can, also i never thought i would work in the food industry..she has been working in the food industry forever..she is 36 years old and speaks both english and spanish, she could do alot better, but i don't say anything..anyway she is like a perfectionist, constantly watching my every move, nothing is ever good enough..she has the most ridiculous rules for making certain orders, its like people don't give a shit if the cheese goes on before the olives or the onions, stupid things just to irritate me, and if im doing something and im doing at an inconvienient pace for her, she will snatch it away from me and do herself..and she says things like oh god please help her, wut the hell is that about..she has something against me, and i rarely talk to my boss unless i have to because shes a bitch..i hate having this tension at work, i am a very nice person and i try to get along with everyone..also im not very sociable at work because i don't like these people i work with , im not a social butterfly but i do like talking to people and i hate that im probably perceived as the loner or w.e..anyway i am doing very well in school, and i was accepted into an nursing program, but i quit.thats another story, I am now studying elementary education..I am required to do field hours every semester and my boss said that I have to do them before work..from 8:30-9:30, i would prefer that she would let me take one day off to complete more hours, and the teacher i observed this semester, teaches at 11..so i didn't get to observe her teaching, i just interviewed her pretty much..i would have liked to been able to observe her at that time..I feel that my boss isn't very flexible with my school schedule..luckily i have been able to accomodate my school schedule with work, but now when i start fiu, i don't know if i should continue to work there..I am planning to take 3 education courses in the summer..and they will all be very fast paced..like 6 weeks..I don't know if i can handle my first semester at fiu in the education program while working there..can i make it work? i really don't like these people i work with, and i don't need additional stress..I am planning to quit in april before i start in may, and during that time, I want to study for the math portion of the gkt (general knowledge test), which is part of the education program..oh and i forgot to mention, i hate doing dishes at my job! I have to wash a few pots, pans, containers, cutting boards, etc It can be exhausting, there are too many dishes! and sometimes while im doing dishes if there are too many people in the line, i have to go help my sister and the bitch with customers, which leaves me behind in doing dishes..and its a pain in the butt and the cook gets angry because he might have to help with dishes..So what are your suggestions, should i stick it out until the fall? or should i quit now in april..in april it will be 10months, that i have worked there..also i make 8/hr, how much do u think i will be getting for unemployment? help! this is my longest job, i haven't worked much before this..i have gotten use to making money, but school is important to me and i don't wanna put up with this for much longer..i want to focus on school..help? please no mean comments..thankyou
sorry for some of the slang, and thanks for taking the time to read my venting..i need some opinions!
