I'VE NEVER BEEN ONE TO WORK

I HAD A JOB FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS UNTIL I WALKED OUT OF IT. LITERALLY, I WALKED OUT, WHICH I HAVE NEVER EVER DONE IN MY LIFE.  I'LL TELL YOU LIFE IS WAY TO SHORT TO BE STRESSED OUT AND FRANTIC. I WORKED AT THIS LITTLE BAKERY AND CAFE IN MY SMALL TOWN HERE IN KANSAS. IT HAD ALL THE POTENTIAL OF BEING A HUGE SUCCESS BUT THERE WAS ONE THING IN ITS WAY....THE OWNER. SHE WAS A SCATTERED BRAINED, SASSY MOUTHED, "EVERYONE IS OUT TO GET ME" KIND OF PERSON. AND I HAD SOME SERIOUS WHIPLASH GOING ON WITH ALL OF HER MOOD SWINGS.

I CAN'T BASH ON MOOD SWINGS, I HAVE THEM TOO. HERE IS AN EXAMPLE, WHEN THE OWNER, WE WILL CALL HER BARBIE, HAD A CHANCE TO LEAVE EARLY FOR THE NIGHT TO BE WITH HER FAMILY, BARBIE DECIDED TO START A DELIVERY SERVICE...THAT NIGHT!!! REALLY? WHAT? BARBIE'S NOT ONLY IS THE OWNER BUT THE CHEF & THAT PARTICULAR  NIGHT WE GOT SLAMMED. WE HAD 7 FAMILIES COME INTO OUR SMALL DINER ALL AT ONCE AND THE CHEF WAS GONE DOING "DELIVERIES". I HAD TO BE THE WAITRESS, COOK, CASHIER, & SELL ITEMS FROM THE FRONT CASE (BAKED GOODS). THEN WHEN BARBIE FINALLY CAME BACK SAW THAT IT WAS A BIT IN DISARRAY & HAD THE BALLS TO GET UPSET WITH ME! I QUIT THE NEXT DAY, I WALKED OUT OF THERE, NO I RAN OUT OF THERE.

BARBIE GOES THROUGH EMPLOYEES LIKE HOLLYWOOD STARS CHANGE SPOUSES. SHE BLAMES IT ON HER NOT BEING ABLE TO TRAIN PEOPLE, BUT REALLY SHE GOES THROUGH EMPLOYEES BECAUSE SHE IS SO HARD TO WORK WITH. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO WORK FOR HER. ONE MINUTE SHE IS PRAISING YOU THE NEXT YOU CAN DO NOTHING RIGHT.  SHE WAS COMPARING ME TO HER OLD EMPLOYEES THAT STOLE FROM HER! REALLY? I NEVER TOOK ANYTHING FROM THAT WOMAN, OR AS SHE PUT IT, "PUT A HAM IN MY ARM PIT". SHE WAS COMPARING ME TO HEROIN USERS AND THIEVES MY FIRST WEEK OF WORKING THERE. THAT WASN'T TOO COOL.

AND WHY AM I TELLING YOU ALL THIS? IF YOU ARE A MANAGER OR EMPLOYER PLEASE DO NOT DO THIS TO YOUR EMPLOYEES. JUST BECAUSE SOME PEOPLE THAT WORKED FOR YOU WERE BAD, DOESN'T MEAN ALL PEOPLE ARE BAD. PLUS, YOU HIRED THEM, DON'T PUNISH ME FOR A MISTAKE THAT YOU DID. I WAS NEVER TRULY GIVEN A FAIR CHANCE AND THAT IS ON BARBIE NOT ME! I WOULD STILL BE THERE IF I WASN'T TAKEN FOR GRANTED, VERBALLY ABUSED, AND WORKED TO DEATH. THERE ARE TIMES THAT YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR YOURSELF AND THIS WAS ONE.
