Well, the point of this post is to share some news: I quit my job on Tuesday!
If you weren't aware, I spent the last two years of my life making Big Macs and hating every second of it. I didn't really quit in the most professional way, but it was just so much more satisfying to do what I did.
THE ACTUAL MESSAGE I WROTE:
This is my two weeks notice. Thanks for the experience and what not.
Now, the message itself wasn't bad at all. Short, sweet, to the point. The thing that really got on my managers nerves was that I wrote it on the back of a receipt with a permanent marker during my shift, for no real reason.
And I can agree with that, I didn't really have a reason. Other then the fact that I hate my job with a flaming passion. And it was sudden, but sometimes you just need to do things impulsively or else they won't get done. And for the presentation of the letter? I felt that I couldn't actually write how much I hated my job, so I thought I'd subtly show it in the presentation of my two weeks notice.
RANT: Unfortunately, my manager was so unimpressed with me, that I got a ten minute lecture about my attitude problem, my authoritative issues and how I never put effort into my work. Now, for a restaurant mainly fueled by teenage employees, I feel that it was a bit ridiculous to say that I have an attitude problem. I'm seventeen. I can't NOT have an attitude, I'm a teenager. Also, it's not an attitude problem, I just don't like you. And for the effort level? It's McDonald's. I make the food, and I clean, there's nothing else for me to do. Authoritative issues? Sorry I don't suck up to you, or think it's that impressive that you're a manager. You still work at McDonald's, and I refuse to respect people that treat me like dirt. :END RANT
ANYWAYS, that's what happened on Tuesday, and it made me extremely happy, even though I am now un-employed, and my last paycheck is going entirely towards getting my kitten fixed. Sooo I won't have money after next Tuesday. But still, the sacrificies were worth the gain in my opinion.
NEED TO COMMENT ON SOMEONE'S RANDOM BLOG?
Say something you did recently that made you really happy.
Well im thinking about saying congradulations on making it so i felt the happiness from you quiting Mc Donalds. Also the hatefullness towards the manager and the job i felt just from reading this blog which now makes me not even want to apply for the job. But being unemployed life isn't so bad, sure you might not have money to spend to go out and chill with friends but you will see everything in a new light. Keep up the good blogging.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you don't want to apply there. Worst two years of my life.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, I've been working since I was in grade eight, soo I plan on slothing my way through the next year and trying to leech off of my parents :)
Ha! Is it wrong I laughed while reading your blog? I like the humour you employ when describing your wonderful golden arch experiences. It's a horrible feeling to work at a job you can't stand. I hope your kitten is okay!
ReplyDeleteNOPE, totally okay with it.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks, I'm pretty hilarious...
And they kind of just kept scheduling me sooo at least I still have money?
But yeah, I hate it.
My kitten is currently on lots of pain killers, so he's just loving life :)
Yea I definetly agree with you. I also know what it's like to work at the same place for so long. I've been working at my company for nearly three years but it's been so long I'm finding it difficult to picture myself doing anything else.
