Unofficially Quitting

I've got a problem. And it's name is Anna Works In The Daycare At Gold's Gym. Honestly. I've worked there for over two years, and enough is enough.

It's not that I don't like the job. I actually love my job. I love the kids (most of them), I love the girls I work with (some of them), I love the free membership (nope). But I can't do it any more. You see, here's the thing. Even though I really like most of the girls I work with, I've gotta say, responsibility just isn't there thing.

For example. Friday nights just me and one other girl work. Last Friday, this girl spent a good hour (though not all at one time) of the three we work for in the little NutriMart across from the daycare, flirting wth the boy who works over there. Very helpful. What makes people think it's okay for them to do that during work? When they're on the clock? No! That's not okay! And when she was in the daycare, she was sitting against the wall, ignoring children, and playing with her phone. Honestly. Not okay.

Another example. Saturday mornings, there are five of us that work, and every other week our manager comes in and works. This last Saturday? There were three of us. Including the manager. And the other girl that was working wasn't even scheduled for Saturdays, she was covering a shift. Where were the other girls? One wrote she needed it off on the calendar, didn't get it covered, and just decided not to show up. The other two? They just called in. Didn't give an excuse. One of them skips almost every Saturday because she doesn't like working with our manager because our manager called her out for being lazy and doing and doing nothing at work (which is totally accurate, by the way). Not coming and getting in trouble for that is helping her how ...? I don't understand that. And the other one has been late or not showing up a lot recently, and told me just last week she was going to redeem herself to our manager by being there and being on time all the time. She's off to a great start. And tonight she was supposed to work too. She was over an hour late. Cool.

I honestly can't do it anymore. I am the only one that I know will be there every shift I work. It's ridiculous! And I'm having to pick up the slack for these lazy girls I work with who don't give a crap about being at work and doing their job. I'm doing twice the work, and getting paid a pittance. I just can't do it. I'm sick and tired of being one of two or three responsible people working there. And even if the other girls are there, half the time they aren't doing anything productive. I get that their just high school girls who don't really care. But if they don't care, they need to quit or they need to be fired. It just isn't fair to the rest of us.

So that's it. I am un[OFFICIALLY] quitting. Just as soon as I can find myself a new job.

So if anyone happens to hear of somewhere hiring in the Layton area, let me know. For reals.

  1. You're thinking of doing editing stuff and going to Weber, right? I would look into maybe getting a job at the writing center on campus! It may give you a really good insight as to whether it's something you'd want to do or not :)
