So I called out sick today. Bad diarrhea since last night. Was planning to go to work a lil bit late but it happens again so I decided to call off all together. My manager is chewing me out over texts because I was supposed to give a one hour notice. I’ve been here under a year, and this is my first time calling out. I don’t know about these policies. Am I in trouble?
I’m just physically and mentally exhausted. I work 30 hrs per week , 8 hours shifts. I pretty much run the front by myself with little help. I ring people up, does returns, answers the phone, does pick ups and answers any question people in the store may have. Today I ringed up over 100+ people. And my store has more Amazon return customers than Staples so you do the math. I really want to leave but can’t there are barely any new job postings in my area, not to mention the hours and schedules are not guaranteed. I just feel so stuck.
So I had a group interview two days ago. It was 20+ people just in the first cohort. The DM conducted it and we were asked 4 questions. Your name, tell us about yourself, work history and availability. I just told him I had a year of experience with retail, very used to working in fast paced, high pressure environments and that I have open availability. To be frank, I don’t think I’ll be getting the job because literally everyone in my group had the same open availability. He said we would know of a decision same day at 8pm. Two days pass and nothing? Do they ghost if you’re rejected or at least TELL YOU that you you’re rejected?
What’s the job like? How should I prepare for my interview? Thank you!
