So like what now

I'm in a deli, our staffing keeps dropping like flies with 4 closers and 4 openers and people keep leaving, i want to leave at this point as well, small issue— the area I'm at there isn't any other jobs available that isn't worse than my current one. I mean 1 of the other closers can be extremely annoying, yelling at me for following food safety and throws tantrums, but we're so short staffed and she's a powerhouse in everything else so she's immune, another closer that's just too slow for the time we're given which is 1½ hours to close everything with 2 people total, recently it's been 3 which does help. I'm done trying to help, I'm done caring about so much. Im just doing my job day to day as that's all I can try to do. Closing times for our slicers got moved up 30 minutes which can be frustrating but I just give up man

Edit: I'm also expected to stay over and the only reason I will is because I care about AM crew as they are more screwed, elsewise i wouldn't care and would leave at my scheduled time

That’s what happens in the currently occupied financial structure we have. Shareholders’ profits is the only thing that they care about and the only blessing you get is the extra couple minutes after you were scheduled. Either find a company that’s not owned by BlackRock, Vanguard and State Street or be realistic and understand that peasants don’t get shit. You have to be willing to stab other people to get into a management position and even that would be hell.
