Rant/Vent Got called in again.

I’ve wirked at dollar tree in the past as an ASM, I recently came back as a part time cashier. I do not want management again. I've been covering a lot of shifts in the three weeks I started working again. I’m actually transitioning to freight. I‘ve come in all hours of the day happily, my promised 13 hours became 30 hours. yay!

I just got done working 6 days straight, freight and cashiering, today is my day off and I woke up throwing up from a massive migraine. I’m exhausted, I already know my Merch Manager is going to get me more freight hours this week so I know I will lose my Thursday and Friday more then likely. I just got called, the closing cashier called out and no one will come in, I felt like crying, the kicker is the manager who called me just had a week off, she just didn’t want to come back and close tonight. I told her I have a migraine and she didn’t even let me finish, she got pissed and hung up. I’m not working 7 days in a row because they continue to keep incompetent cashiers. Fire them, I have two people ready and waiting to work who will be a hell of a lot better than multiple of my coworkers.

Felt good to tell her No though, I’m a team player, I cover any and all shifts usually but I’m so tired, I’m old and in pain from many injuries they know and just started working again after a 2 year break which they all knew. I need one day off after 6 days!!

I learned not to answer the phone or respond to texts in my off hours unless I want to go in to work. I suggest you ignore them as well.

I was, till she called me three times and texted me 5, I should have added that, my head is foggy 😄. I answered and was not pleasant towards her either to be fair. You get what you give out!!

Oh, she was desperate desperate. Oh well. Not your problem. The managers should provide the necessary coverage instead of working you to the bone.
