...On my job because my manager was trying to make me work after my roommate tested positive for covid.
We're always in pretty close proximity and we share meals. I'm also getting tested though.

I called to let my manager know, because there's no way I will be spreading the damn plague around if I can prevent it. She got angry and told me it's my responsibility to cover my shift. She's been pretty terrible altogether and never enforces mask rules, so yeah, i just got tired of it and called HR. She was very kind and commmunicated that no, it isnt my reponsibility, and what I did is standard procedure. D: Honestly im most likely gonna quit because of all the issues at my job, my friend even called her and complained. (I know bc she referred me to her).

@milkshake: good. I’m glad you stood up for yourself. That’s unacceptable and I’m glad you didn’t go into work

Thanks for being responsible about it! Hopefully your manager starts taking Covid more seriously. I would never want to work in that kind of environment.

Is this the job you mentioned in a previous post that you were really excited to work at? If so, it's unfortunate that you've been encountering these issues there. :/ You did the right thing and it's crazy that your manager is being so negligent with the protocols.

Remember, in the end, HR still works for your employer too. I'd go even beyond HR, report them to your local health department as well for not following covid procedure.

@milkshake: I'm sorry :c I remember your excitement at the beginning and I feel bad that it didn't turn out to be what you expected. Have you been putting in other applications just in case you decide to leave this one? Also, did anything happen to your manager after the call to HR?

@Ark: Have been looking into other jobs, especially since this one only pays 9.50 anyways. Walmart is probably considerably worse but i would be paid $15/hr. Def not staying there. Don't get paid enough and the environment sucks.
Not sure if anything has happened to her, but the person I spoke to said my points were very serious and our regional manager is going to have a talk with her. I have a good friend willing to try and fill management there, but the entire staff is terrible and judgmental asf. One of my friends quit, and the assistant manager (who was apparently good friends with the snobby store manager) quit and never talked to her again. Every employee has complained about her though so I hope something happens to get her out of there. She doesn't deserve the position at all.
I'm sorta anxious about quitting but theres no damn way im staying :( it sucks bc i really thought it'd be a cool job.

Oh well tho. I do eventually plan on starting my own business in making various accessories + paintings. Just have to find a job where I can buy supplies and load up while being able to feed/home myself.

@milkshake: It's always baffling to me that crappy managers who get hella complaints always somehow manage to keep their jobs. ==;; I never understood that. But Walmart would probably be a good placeholder job for now, at least until you find something else you like. :)

On the bright side, it's a good thing you got to truly see how the job was early on, instead of being there for months and not seeing it until after you've established yourself in it.

@Ark: Honestlyyyy. My mental health was not doing well and on top of the fact that I just stood around, there wasnt anything to do and that made my anxiety so high. I dislike retail altogether, and was hoping my anxiety would improve but like, stocking would totally be easy. I really excel at cleaning jobs but those dont pay even $9 around here.. which is crazy considering cleaners are the front line in preventing covid?
Idk, i hate jobs where I just stand and "look busy" because i do things very quickly, so all the work gets done. lol, honestly, most jobs in general just need a reform. If I get my work done, pay me and let me go home! Making me do a bunch of pointless stuff and then not paying me more for that is just.. weird to me?
Im writing my resignation and dont really know how to word it lol. gahh i hate my anxiety. it gets in the way of everything.

my family told me to try for disability but medicaid is denying me even insurance.. and it'll be even harder to get disability.
i h8 it here.

It must be some kind of unspoken requirement among managers to be incompetent twits. It's really unfortunate that you have been experiencing all of that on the job and I hope HR takes care of it.

@milkshake: For your letter you could write "As of [date] I am submitting my 2 weeks notice. My last day of employment will be [end date]. Thank you, [signature]." Idk if your job requires you to write an explanation, but at a job I left a few years ago I made my letter like that and it worked out. :velvethappy:
