Janet, I hope you find another job soon that's much better (well, I think most jobs must be better than that!). You working your ass off in such conditions should count as something when applying for other jobs, I think.. good luck!

Time to dust off your resume, Janet. Get out of that place before it kills you. You clearly have a great work ethic, and valuable retail management experience. But there is no need for you to be working hours like that in conditions like that. Think about what kind of stores/businesses you like to shop in, and try to find a job in one of those. It will change your work experience greatly. There is no need to to work with people who are mean, disrespectful, etc. They are clearly unhappy - they don't need to crap on you. We spend a lot of time at our workplaces - a huge chunk of our lives. They should not be a source of misery.

Good luck to you.

Arrow Janet...

Dang woman, find something else!! I worked at the damn Dollar Store for 4 days and the day before I quit, I went home crying. It's NOT worth it!! Find something you love!! I work at home (although, I live at home too, and don't make much a year, but I'm content..finally).

It's not you, it's them. These people working today, who are mostly teenage kids and young 20-somethings expect to be paid to do NOTHING. There are hardly any people today who have work ethic, it seems. They all probably hate you because you make them work and that's ridiculous.

Seriously, you should not be working your a$$ off to get no respect.

That sounds awful. I hope you find a job you enjoy more. It's just not worth it to work all the time and be miserable.

janet...i hope everything goes as you wish...

recently they hired an interim guy for my boss who left after 5 years...well...on his first day he was hands-on, and started with the "whats wrong with my computer bit" while he leaned back in his chair and i had to lean across the pig to fiddle with his mouse! i wont go into every little f'ed up thing he did over the course of three days but the last straw was when he whispered in my ear "i dont like the pencils you are using, the erasures are too HARD."

needless to say, I had his ass terminated that day
