My phone's charging port gave out on me. I start a very good paying job on Monday, so I will have no issue repaying it. The 12th is the absolute latest that I should get my first paycheck, but I will pay it back sooner if possible and I'm fine paying interest.
I worked in a factory for over 2 years. The work is grueling. I go to work and come home too tired to do anything. Even on weekends I still feel exhausted and sore from the week. The pay is barely enough to survive on. After getting a promotion that was a lot more work and responsibility, I got a 1 dollar raise.
The main reason I left is because of my direct supervisor. She seems like the kind of manager you would want to have, until things aren't exactly how she wants them to be. She gets in moods where she will just snap at everyone and talk down to people like they're stupid, or go out of her way to get them in trouble. She has a spreadsheet of all of the mistakes employees have made.
A few weeks ago, I got written up because she started going off on me, I asked her to stop talking to me like that, she said no, and I said "are you fucking kidding me?" Which was apparently uncalled for.
I got a better job and put in my 2 weeks, and I was told I could either work 3 more weeks or 1. I wasn't allowed to work 2 more weeks. I almost walked out then but I tried to just grin and bear it for the sake of the people I do really like. Yesterday it got up to 90 degrees in our area. We were all sweating and suffering, and she announced that she's leaving because it's too hot for her. She left her employees suffering in the heat and went home. If I did that I would've gotten written up I guarantee it.
That leads to today. She is immediately in a mood and keeps getting snippy with me, so I write an email to the owner of the company (it's a small family owned business) and HR telling them everything I've witnessed this manager do, including loudly saying how she wants to fire certain employees, and then I walked out. I'm not sure if it will have any affect at all, but that's no longer my problem. My hands are still shaking a little bit, but I feel so relieved.
