All right, I had a job at a gamestore for over a year. I had a manager who I would constantly make fun of and question his intelligence and responsiblity on...but this new one just takes the cake.
That job ended because the store closed(not enough profit) about halfway in summer. By this time, I had a few hundred saved up and I was working on getting a job through my school with financial Aid. So i decided to not work and enjoy summer; I did for the most part. About a month before school starts, I got ACCEPTED to a job at my school's child care aid by the maneger there. There was some direct deposit and tax paperwork that needed to be done, but nonetheless, i got accepted already.
Now, I'm a procastinator, so of course I wait unitl now. Also, my bank didn't have counter checks so I spent about a week wondering if I should pay for 150 checks when I only need one, or get a new account somewhere else. Mentaly, alot of it was just me not wanting to take action until it was neccesary. Now you have to understand, i've called my school and asked if there were important deadlines...they said no.
So it's the weekend before school and I call my soon to be manager to set up the rest of the paperwork, and she tells me something along the lines of
"Well I didn't hear from you and I thought you weren't interested so I gave the position to someone else."
...WHAT? You have my f'n name, address, phone #, emergency contact, and no one bothered to tell me??
Do people understand how jobs work?? Most students are dependant on them. The fact that it was a job through financial aid alone should have been enough. The part that honestly pisses me off, is how she told me I was accepted and everything, and then she just changes her mind.
yeah...so now I'm kind of screwed. I'm most likely going to have to get a job I don't want or find rides to school and not work.
yeah...fucking piece of shit.
