So I have been working at this fast food place, Taco Time, for the past year and couple months. Last Friday, I gave them my two weeks notice. My reasons for quitting were:
- Having started me at $5.50, even though my job before started at $6.00, and over the past year only being raised to $6.50.
- Working at least one weekend night every week, and sometimes both.
- Problems with a certain manager that never were resolved, and my opinions washed aside.
- The inability for them to have set times on which we could go home. Everyone on a shift would be assigned a number, 1 being sent home first, and 5 being sent home last. You never knew when you would be going home, because that was entirely up to the manager on duty.
Its not a very long list, but these problems got continually tiring over the past year or so. My requests for raises every three or so months were continually met with hesitancy, due to the fact that I was slow at making food (mostly due to the fact that I was only ever assigned to make food once my whole time there).
Recently my manager started scheduling me weekends only. After asking why this was, and getting the reason back that we had too many people working there, I asked if I could work during the week, and not so much on the weekends. Her response was to still schedule me weekends, and give me one short shift during the week.
I was supposed to work tonight, but after going in for work, I find that she has completely changed the schedule, and that I dont work this week at all. After asking if someone changed the schedule, she responds that she did, and not in a very nice manner that is usual.
So im pretty sure my time there is done. I am kind of hurt and confused as to why I was treated so poorly, or if I was at all. I can count on one hand how many times I was late for a shift, and only missed 4 shifts of work (2 of which were thanks to her great scheduling). I never sat around idile, I was always on my feet doing work, and did several above the call favors for customers.
Are my reasons not good as I think they are? Was my quitting justified?
