I was just talking with someone about that and was saying the same thing. No one has any work ethics anymore. Which is why I can't be a manager because I get too frustrated with the carelessness in which employees take their jobs.

And like I mentioned, I had an intuitive feeling (even before I resigned) that this was going to happen. This experience is such a strong validation that I made the correct move to exit this company and work for myself!! :)<br /><br />Which, btw is slowly starting to come together. I made some really nice "connections" over the past few weeks, allowing me to get my name out there. It's funny because ever since making this decision, people and situations are naturally flowing into my life.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by and for your support, my friend.

SO GREAT TO SEE...Hellooooooooooooooooooooooo Mary!<br /><br />SO GREAT TO SEE YA, NEIGHBOR!<br /><br />Yes, A LOT has happened since we last spoke. After five years, I decided to resign from my previous job. I don't in any way expect a job to be perfect, however, this company has changed so drastically over the past two years that it's not something I could tolerate any longer. It's started to affect me physically, mentally and emotionally, so I made the choice to leave.<br /><br />I'm not the slightest bit worried either. I know my heart of hearts that this needed to happen to make room for what's "going" to happen. I can feel it in my soul. I'm so excited!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, neighbor!

And the most annoying part was that no one seemed to even care about what happened. I was ignored, in the hopes that I would simply stop trying. <br /><br />"But OMG...I laughed my ass off at your closing words to the company, and your reference to Joan Crawford. Hysterical!"<br /><br />HA! I couldn't resist. But I always think of Joan Crawford (Faye Dunaway) in the movie Mommie Dearest whenever I need to let someone know that I am NO pushover. <br /><br />OMG, yes, the heat and humidity has been dreadful the past couple of days. But I have to say, the start of June was incredible. However, July is usually pretty intense.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, Elaine.

And it seemed never-ending because it took a MONTH to finally get the PTO. <br /><br />"It's no wonder why you resigned, they seem to be totally careless and just plan nasty."<br /><br />And not only that, but so much has changed within the company that I simply couldn't stand working for them anymore. And you would think it would dawn on them to correct all the issues because like I said, in the past year, SIX people resigned from the store I worked. However, they don't seem to care.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, buddy.

One part of me couldn't believe that this company would behave this way, yet there was another part of me that could sense they were going to pull a fast one on me, by making hard to get my PTO.<br /><br />"Sounds like the company is staffed with incompetents from top to bottom! The only "glitch" is their shady business practices."<br /><br />HA! You are soooooooooooo right about that!!! And to think that five years ago when I first started with them, I had such pride and joy working for them.<br /><br />Yes, you're right about the paper check.
