wednesday, oct. 24th...i did the unimaginable. I actually walked out on my job. This was a 'high stress' job anyway...and when you're left to work that front reservations desk by yourself while another is at lunch, not just doing the job you're hired to do, but also to answer the phones (don't let the phones ring more than twice...) and then get pushy customers ...i just couldn't take it anymore. I had gone back to ask for help and this woman (lead supervisor filling in for my supervisor) took her glasses off and threw them at her computer saying "oh shit. Here we go again" as if to imply that my stupidity is amazing to her. And of course she never came out to help with the situation, never made an effort to ever try to come see how she could help with the growing line of customers waiting to be checked in/out etc. I was so fed up. This happened before with this woman. I have never figured why she can't stand me...but hey, she's a 'manager'....right...whatever.
anyway, I told the phone operator that i was going to quit and of course no one believed me...till i started doing the bank thing that we do at the end of the shift. I stayed 'calm' as i did all this, everyone still not thinking i'm really going to do this. But i did! I dropped my bank like at the end of the shift, turned in my key, my badge and my ID badge and said "it was real" and walked out, got in my car and drove away.
All i hope is that the 'why' i left gets to my real supervisor who the day before talked me into staying on the job instead of giving my notice...She said i am such a good worker...oh well...ask the other gal who just threw her glasses into her computer...her reaction is why i left...NO SUPPORT in time of need...tired of the bullshit.
an so now i am jobless, but i feel like a weight is off me ... i didn't realize how stressed out i was till i am off this job and have time to unwind with just me and my 5 dogs, 4 cats, 3 birds and fish.
