I did talk to my boss the next day and told her where I stood regarding cashier training. I tried to get her to transfer me but she tried to pass it along to someone else. So I told her point blank that I would come in only for my actual job but not for training.
Having looked at the schedule they have scheduled me right before my vacation starts. So I might have to just go ahead with the training after all if I want to collect my vacation pay. Then during that time I can relax and do some job hunting. I already have one application signed and ready to hand in. It would be cool if I get it too despite it also being retail. If the rumors are true and I hope they are I would be starting at $12.00, which would be a big improvement compared to my current situation.
I’ve also decided that I’ll be cutting my hair short. I grew it down to my ass and some places might not like that. The plus side to cutting it will let them know I’m dead serious about getting the fuck out of dodge. At this point even if they told me that I didn’t have to go through training I’d still leave.
I’ve told only a small few about what’s going on (since they noticed on the schedule what I would be doing and were curious how I felt) and I’ve let them know where I stand. They agreed with me, it’s all a total joke.
So new hair, new job and new life should be on the horizon.
Well, considering you’re barely making above minimum wage, I’d quit that job and start selling meth until I got a better one.
Seriously–Minimum wage is a joke. I’ve only been in the work force for 4 years now and as of yet had to work for less than 9.50/hr. and even with that I’m barely making enough money to live off of.
