I have this job, it's pretty stupid, but I hold a sign that says "Hot-N-Ready $5" for a pizza place. Anyways, I'm starting to think that the people I work with don't really respect me enough.
For example, on Good Friday, I get a phonecall from them asking me if I can work from 4-6. I say okay, and I change my easter dinner plans with my family. Well, fifteen minutes before my shift starts, I got a phonecall from them telling me I don't need to come in. The fact that they don't respect me enough to let me know earlier or to just let me come in and work the two stupid hours like I planned really pissed me off.
I had been looking for reasons to quit, because after working there for two months, I was still always working outside, and I had expected to be working inside with more hours. So, the other day, I went in, and asked if my manager would be coming in today, and the other lady was like "No, why?" and I just said "well, I need to talk to her." The other woman kept on insisting that I tell her what I need to talk to her about, so I did, and I told her I was really pissed off, and so was my family. So, she went ahead and told me all this crap about how they love me there and think I'm a "great team member". So, I didn't end up quitting, and I'm waiting until my manager comes back. They kind of go through workers pretty quickly, but I've had it.
Do you think I should quit or what? Should I just forget about it and move on and hope things get better?

If it's only happened a few (1-3) times, you might be overreacting. Sometimes things like that happen in the workplace, and although it sucks, you'd probably call in and do the same if you had plans or were sick.
However, if it's been happening constantly (say 7+ incidents) and with the same people on top of that, go ahead and quit. You don't deserve to work in a place where people will walk all over you. [ mylinhthan's advice column | Ask mylinhthan A Question ]

But before you quit, find a new job so when you quit your not jobless and moneyless lol. [ LexybelNLisa's advice column | Ask LexybelNLisa A Question ]
Missa8305 answered Sunday March 27 2005, 2:00 pm: I suggest you look for a new job and quit when you find one. If your current job calls you again, asking you to work on short notice, tell them that you are unable to if you all ready have plans. Normally, if someone from work calls me and asks me to work when I have made plans with my family, I tell them so. And normally, they understand.

SweetStarx89 answered Sunday March 27 2005, 1:21 pm: hi. well if you think that this job doesn't make you happy then i would quit and find a new job. i know jobs are not suppose to be fun but some can be fun and something you should like. so if you know you dont like it and is not having any fun or nothing then maybe you should just leave it. but then again sometimes it's hard to find another job so what i would do is hang on to it until i can find another job if you do decide to quit. definitly talk to your manager about the issues you dont like and see what he/she says. hope i helped let me know how it goes if you can. take care. x3SweetStar.
