I visited Waybacks once, and I loved the place so much that I knew I wanted to be a part of it. From my very first shift, I worked hard to complete weekly tasks and contribute however I could, to learn what I can, and I have consistently tried to improve. In the beginning, that effort was recognized and rewarded.

Since becoming a Shift Lead, I have regularly asked for feedback, criticism, and advice because I wanted to become better at my job, I wanted to be an asset. Every single time I asked what I could improve, I was met with the same response, praise. I was repeatedly told I was doing a great job. Then, without warning, when I setup a meeting for further feedback on how I could improve, I was demoted.

At no point was I criticized, coached, or warned that I was failing to meet expectations. Apparently, I had been falling short for some time, but instead of having a conversation with me, making those expectations clear, and giving me the opportunity to correct course, you allowed me to continue believing everything was fine. When an employee repeatedly asks how they can improve, and your response is always, "You're doing great," only to later demote them for performance, that is not management. It is a failure to communicate.
I asked for guidance. I practically begged for it. Instead, I was given nothing but reassurance, and then punished for shortcomings that no one ever bothered to explain.

I've worked under managers who cursed me out, managers I had to drive home because they were too drunk to drive themselves, and managers who called me slurs while we were on shift. As unbelievable as it is to say, every one of them handled difficult conversations with more honesty, tact, and respect than you did.

I quit.

The only reason I didn't resign during that meeting was because I am financially dependent on the paycheck. I do not deserve to be treated this way. I genuinely loved working here. I was proud to be part of this team. Now I cannot stand the thought of walking through the doors again.
