View Full Version : Drew said I could quit!!!
browneyedbeauty 07-08-2008, 09:33 PM Ok so as yall might know the new job SUCKS!
Well Andrew flipped his shit over me quitting Wal-Mart without getting another gig first (and rightfully so) so I swore to him I wouldn't do that again without significant money in the bank. We have bills and that was really irresponsible of me. (I felt bad about it but I was putting one whole check in my gas tank every month. Not to mention I was in the middle of a nervous breakdown. :no)
I really wanted to quit but I made a promise and I felt horrible about it. Andrew and I talked and he said, "This is one promise you don't have to keep. I worry about your health as it is and you don't need a job where you don't get lunch. Legal or not, that's some bullshit."
So I'm quitting. I'm trusting the Universe is going to provide a way and I'm going to look that much harder. I put out lots of applications today.

rcwant2be 07-08-2008, 09:58 PM Is this the sales job? If they are doing illegal stuff, quit, then report them.
Kudos to your db tho!

browneyedbeauty 07-08-2008, 10:06 PM Well in VA if you're on the clock for 6 hours or plus, you're due a 30 minute lunch break.
9a-3p is exactly 6 hours. Between getting on the phone and off the phone they manage to shave off a few minutes so it's not the full six.

That's still pretty darn shady. What if you're diabetic and need to eat.

:yes exactly!! excellllent point!
soon2bAFwife 07-08-2008, 10:14 PM I refuse to work from 10-6 at my work cause they won't give me a break cause they need me to help work through breaks! so I work from 11-6, still hard but it's a little easier.
I would be right alone with you quiting my job if I wasn't moving in 4 months.
I would report them all the same!
Traci 07-08-2008, 10:17 PM :goodluck :hug

You better be able to wolf it down in 10 minutes or less. Because if legally all they owe you is a 10 minute break and that's all you get.
BrittanyJo 07-08-2008, 10:51 PM Thank God! You sounded miserable there!
browneyedbeauty 07-08-2008, 10:56 PM I'm mad I only lasted one day. :lol
Seriously though....it ain't right.
