New job is a joke, not going back. in Since OD is shutting down....

Um yeah…so I was super excited about the new job but there’s some definite set backs. The first thing is the GM is a complete bitch who does nothing but engage in drama and gossip about other employees and someone I’d have to constantly pretend to be nice to when I can see myself already wanting to punch her in the face. I get there on Friday and right away I have to run home to change because she didn’t tell me what I had to wear when I got hired. So right away, I’m pissed that I have to fight through traffic and spend time trying to find something business casual when I’ve worn nothing but shorts, jeans and tshirts for the past 2 years. Fucking fantastic.

The job itself isn’t that bad of checking people in and out and answering various questions. I didn’t mind until I had to go clean a hotel room by myself. Um, no I was hired to do front desk, not clean. Then I was upset to see the schedule that’s dated for the next weeks, I’m on to work EVERY WEEKEND. This wasn’t discussed at any point and I was never even asked if I’m comfortable with that. I just worked the past 6 months every weekend and I’ll be damned if I’m going to do that somewhere else, especially when I’m getting $9 an hour with no tips! I was also irritated that the GM and the other front desk person were more worried about gossip and saying negative things about the customers and other employees than they were about training me. I was there from 3 until 11pm and all I did was listen to them talk shit!! I had very limited space and didn’t know where I could go to get away from there so when they would start in, I would just zone out. I don’t care about gossip, especially in the workplace so I absolutely refuse to engage in it whatsoever.

I’ve also realized that there’s no way I’m going to be able to pay my bills with what I’m being paid. I would be making less than half what I make now so I’d basically be able to pay for my car and rent and everything else would suffer. I wouldn’t even be able to keep food in my house and I’d have to get a second job which I can’t do physically or emotionally.

All I know is I feel really trapped and I’m just not sure what to do. I have messaged/text people from my old job and no one has responded to let me know if I still have a job or not so I’m very concerned about my situation. I am unable to sleep and am scared that everything I’ve worked so hard for is going to get taken away from me.

Everyone tells me to just keep the hotel job and try to find something else but I can’t handle the boss already and can only see it leading to trouble. I don’t want another situation where if I piss someone off, they are going to go out of their way to make life even tougher for me. I’ve already done the math and I know the money is not enough. I will work part time at 27-30 hours a week at $9/hr and have to be there every weekend?!?!?!

I’m just so tired from the stress this has brought. I honestly don’t know what to say or what to think anymore. I don’t want to be a jobless bum and it’s really upsetting that I’ve been with this company for almost 2 years and no one can get back to me and let me know something either way. I just don’t know what to do or what to say and it’s very upsetting.

Anyways, I’m gonna go get something to eat and maybe take a nap.
