For some context I’ve been working part-time at Uniqlo for a little under a year now and I have to say this was probably the worst part-time job I’ve ever had.

There’s been days where I’ve worked 12 hour shifts without my vocal consent that I’m able to extend. If I’m scheduled for an 11-8 I’ll end up working 11-10, if I can even muster the courage to tell my managers I can’t extend that day i’ll be met with snarky remarks or comments.

However, working at uniqlo wasn’t that bad until our new supervisor arrived. Everyone I’ve spoken to doesn’t seem to like him, even my other managers.

We’re expected to have full availability on weekends, generally I’ve been able to respect that but of course, life happens and sometimes I can’t come in.

I spoke to my supervisor a week prior to my friday and saturday shifts to ask if there was anyway I can adjust as I have a family situation and knew I wouldn’t be able to come in those days.

My supervisor said it’s too short notice and there was nothing he can do. I was a little shocked as a 7 day notice didn’t seem short to me, but honestly that was my last straw and I decided to put in my two weeks since I have another job lined up.

Since he wouldn’t adjust my shift and I could’nt find anyone to cover me I ended up having to call out today.

He texted me later this morning “I understand you are resigning but I do not see any professional manner here, so instead I’ll just remove your remaining shifts this week to plan better for the team.”

I checked my schedule to see he removed my last two shifts and scheduled my last day for this saturday, the day I said I couldn’t make it.

I have no way of even being in the city I work in and make it in time for my shift tommorow. I could be petty and not come in at all but I do want to return my company probided nametag and bag.

I really did wanna leave on good terms but i don’t know what to do now, I guess I just want to know if he’s right and what I did was wrong and what I should do about it now?

Firstly I just wanna thank everyone for the comments on my last post talking about how much I hate working at Uniqlo, it really surprised me to see how many people related to my experience about feeling overworked and under appreciated. With that being said, it’s definitely fueled my hatred lmao. I was originally planning on putting in my two weeks before school so I’d have some money left but lately I’ve been calling out so much and dread coming in every shift, I don’t wanna continue feeling this way throughout the summer so I’ve decided to put in my two weeks by the end of the month.

Now I want to ask, how exactly do I go about putting in my two weeks? This is my first retail job so I’m not sure if it’s better to talk to my supervisor first or just send an email?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

Honestly this might just be a vent post but I’ve been working part-time at uniqlo for about 6 months now and I have to say this might be the worst job i’ve ever had.

I don’t know if it’s just my store that’s really understaffed or something but it seems that uniqlo has an obsession with overworking all it’s employees and its only gotten worse with management changing.

I don’t remember the last time I wasn’t made to extend 2-3hrs or work a 10-11 hour shift. If I’m scheduled for a 9hr shift I’ll end up working for 12hrs and if i can even find the courage to tell my manager I can’t extend I’ll be met with snarky comments and remarks.

The other day I asked my manager if I could adjust my shift on saturday as I have an exam and won’t be able to work a 9 hour shift.

He said to me, “that seems weird but ok.” as if I was lying?? Then when I specifically asked if I could do a opening/evening shift he practically told me I’d be working a closing since they need help, I’ve only been scheduled for closings the last 2 months.

A coworker of mine asked to leave early off her shift since she was on her period and having cramps, they proceeded to ask her for a doctors note, as if anybody gets a doctors note for period cramps.

Does anybody else experience this at their stores??
