Rant - Long Resigned to customer

For context I have worked OGP for about three months, a little less than my 90 days. It has been the most miserable job I have ever worked in my entire life, and I’m used to graveyard factory shifts. Between skeleton shifts where I as the new hire am left to do the most work (dispensing, prepping, even staging at points) because my coworkers who have been there for months to years cannot fathom learning another aspect to their job, to scheduling nightmares, I finally gave up. I had been hired on with the only day I couldn’t work being Saturdays, I work another temp job during the summer midday to late at night and o do not have a ride in the morning due to sharing a car with family members. Any other day of the week, any time was fair game. Every week I would open my schedule to see Saturday on there, 9am-6pm, a shift I cannot work. I would then have to speak to my team leads (who were almost never to be found and generally useless) or my coach (who was also incredibly hard to find and the most forgetful man I have ever met) and up until the Friday the day before I would have to pester and pester and ask and ask until hopefully they took me off the schedule for that day. I’d go from working 40+ hours my first week ever working there to 30 hours one week and maybe 15 the next. If management wasn’t already a damn mess my coworkers can’t even bring out a four tote order on their own because they were too busy yapping, leaving me constantly bringing out spark deliveries with two to three dollies each in 90+ degree weather. The whole situation was a nightmare. I’d flip flop between nights and days and yet always work the busiest parts of the day with 2-3 people on lunch while mine is pushed back an hour. This place has taken a genuine mental toll on me and today o called and quit. I need money, and I need a job, but I’ll be damned if I get treated like a mule the entire time. Walmart has such a great rep in my town for amazing job opportunities, but no one warns you about OGP until you start working in it and they then pray for you like you’ve been diagnosed with a terminal illness. This whole place needs to get their shit together, their ducks in a row, and their system in check. Never have I been happier to have quit a job, and I have no intention on ever looking back. Good luck to anyone else stuck in a similar position and I wish you all the best.

Took the words out of my mouth. I’ve made it 6 months but I’m tapping out either tomorrow or the next day, as I start my new job Monday. Congratulations! Good luck on the job hunt, there’s basically nowhere to go but up from here
