I Hate My Job
So...I just handed my notice in, on direction from the new people I'm going to be working for. Lets hope that all goes smoothly and they don't change their minds at the last second. Yay anxiety.
Aaanyway...I was so nervous about going in today and telling everyone I was leaving. I work in a small store. We're very short staffed and I'm always put on the shifts nobody wants-everyone else has childcare commitments or very well established shift patterns, so I've been kind of filling the massive gaps in between people's shifts. I hated doing this after a while because I started feeling like I was being used.
I got in, said what I needed to and my manager pretty much lost her s***. She told me that she was going to cry, she didn't want to come in anymore, THEN she started going on about how I was doing everything wrong the week before, when she scheduled herself and someone else to go on annual leave and we were horribly short staffed. Then she decided she "needed" to do something else away from the shop floor and left me with masses of work, like normal.
The rest of the shift, whenever she saw me she would be looking at me reproachfully, like I'd done something awful. She also told everyone in the store in literally half an hour and acted like I was doing a terrible thing to her. So now, half the place won't talk to me and the other half are acting like I'm a bad person. For some reason, the store aren't hiring at the moment, so I was kind of taking on two or three people's workload. As soon as I go they'll be screwed, but it shouldn't be my fault that they're not hiring people. I feel like it is though, because such a massive deal was made out of me leaving. It put me on the defensive, I found myself borderline apologizing and trying to justify my decision, when I didn't need to get emotional or defensive about it at all.
It doesn't really matter, as I'll be gone in a week, but I got a terrible stress headache and I am not looking forward to the rest of the week. Bleh -_-
