Oh I know, I wasn't disagreeing with you, just noting that it's possible.

You said you've seen this many times. Sounds like you've had some really sh*tty jobs & supervisors. That blows.

Again the turnover of employees is very high.yes indeed.I was the bozo that hanged on all those years,Ok the last couple of years were getting hard putting up with some of the other co-workers and other personal details I cant get into at this time.Plus no yearly inflation wage increases. Ok trying getting time off for the Stevie upcoming concerts.I never had a problem with this employer or any other past employer to that matter.Yes I do understand the rules,I had scheduled monday .tuesday off.come to work wednesday.Thursday was scheduled to be off for the PNC, Holmdel show and friday I wanted off for a stayover in NJ.Ok they told me I cant take friday off because I could not take more then 3 days at a time off.But one day was really going to shorthanded him that week.Ok at that time I was pisted off and said thats it for working here.This was the straw that broke the camels back.
Yes as mentioned.I cant put a claim in at unemployment.I'm not planning on it.I understand that.Again I'm not quiting for this Stevie tour .sorry again please read closely and slow.

So you were mad that they wouldn't make an exception & bend the rules for you, which added onto the frustration you were already feeling about this job. Yes?

Good luck - hopefully they will take you back.



You know, just a thought. If you really don't like this job, why not search around for something different? I don't know about everywhere else, but $10.50/hr is about average for a warehouse position requiring no education or certifications. It's not a bad paying job, tbqh. If you want to make more, have you looked into trades training? Like machinist/factory work, construction, electric, plumbing, HVAC, computers, health care aide? IOr going to college to further your education & get a better paying career? I know that's not an option for everyone, I'm just curious about your situation.
