Hiya,
I work in a clothes shop, but I'm quitting now.
When I first started I was shy because it was my first job and a few weeks later the wrong holiday was booked by a breakdown in communication (I asked 4 the 1st week in august, the put the 1st week in september).
Anyway, I had a chat with the manager and she was great. She told me that I was trying too hard and I needed to be more streetwise to be a better assistant.
Anyway, I thought it'd all blown over, even though I was suspicious of some collegues bitching about me, until I recieved a letter the other day accusing me of unortharised absenses and poor customer service.
Anyway, I'd tried so hard in work, even though it depressed me a lot. I suffer from depression anyway and I took an overdose on Friday (u may have read it)although I'd had so much stress through college, at home and it was one of the things that cracked me.
They frankly didn't give a toss when my Dad phoned to tell them I was very ill in hospital. My friends went in later on Saturday to tell them I was on a drip and I was very sick, here's what they said to them.
"OOOH, I THINK YOU'RE PATHETIC COMING IN TO *** **** JUST TO TELL ME THAT. OH, AND THE LETTER WAS FROM HEAD OFFICE, NOT FROM US!"
Of course my friend burst into tears and people just stared at the supervisor while my other friend shouted at them.
Is it me or is this really unfair treatment for a Saturday job?
