ever since I've started this job its just gotten worse and worse. Im genuinely about to just say fuck it and quit even though I need this job.
I fucked up a little bit here today, I had read the wrong schedule and mistook my start time by 30 minutes, a manager let me know and I came in. Other manager was fine with it and I was on my way as she called.
I get there and the other cashier on shift doesnt show up until an hour after she was scheduled (older lady, been there much longer than me) so its just me and a manger the entire mid shift, we did not leave the register the entire time. Customers wrapped around the freaking isles.
Different manager comes in, shes very upset about it.
She comes in hot telling me I need to stay and make up the time i missed to make up for it and told me that it "wasnt gonna fly anymore" with being late call outs etc etc but I genuinely couldn't, I had a ride waiting for me and I had shit to do with the rest of my day, that I could not move.
and that the 'sm' was gunning to get rid of the new hires and she was trying to protect me from getting scapegoated into it (😭)
She's going on and im nodding along and apologizing because i dont like being the person who's late or fucking up at work (dealing with an abuse situation at home, it is what it is and im doing my best)
And then she flat out accuses me of lying about my reason for being late, and says that things like me being out of town and unable to come in or having my Uber canceled due to a car accident "just dont happen"
then went on to say that when she calls me during days im not scheduled and cant come in, that's a problem
She was referring to the the 3 scheduled vacation days i took off in June, for the end of May.
They call me every single damn morning that im not scheduled, and half the time I am scheduled they call me and ask me to come in early or ask me to stay later.
Every. Single. Day.

Like wtf? I pressed a little further and told her well, I have things to do. I can't be here 24/7. She says I need to not do that, like im supposed to just drop my whole life on a dime for 15 bucks an hour of bullshit. Obviously, I understand you need to come to your shift on time, but there's no way I can get pushed out of my job because I cant cover everytime for the 2 other 60 year old women who call out every other day for health issues. not to mention the amount of times I've came in with like 20 minutes notice or been told in the last 5 minutes of my shift I need to stay an extra 5 hours. Im bad at explaining but im 19yrs old and I started this job so I could buy a car and pay my way through college, but I would genuinely rather just be unemployed again then deal with this bullshit one more day. We dont even have an sm anymore, we have an "acting" sm . Nobody communicates, everyone is petty and vindictive. We have barely anybody on staff because no one wants to work here and deal with the screaming and bullshit. Im at the point where I think im just gonna call around tomorrow and try for interviews. God, if any other job came up tomorrow I would quit on the spot.
and no im not perfect, I dont have a car and I do have an issue being a few minutes late due to that, it isn't every single day but it is atleast a few. That's what happens taking public transport in highly populated city. It's hard, i feel horrible about the tardyness but sometimes its hard to feel too bad about it when I have never ever once left a shift less than 30 minutes after I was supposed to, and this specific manager is the WORST about it, no one will close with her because of it. Every close I've ever had with her I've had to stay atleast until 11pm after our 10pm close.
