I know I should be thankful and I am, I worked at a grocery store for about 2 1/2 years still there as a part time cashier part time and the small business had to close all the stores but 1 thankfully they transferred me to the only store. Now 7 months had went in and now I only work 1 day a week and only for 4 to 5 hours! So my check is under $100! At the original store I worked 3 days a week, 7-8 hours a day and had a paycheck bi weekly of $350. Pretty much 700 a month Ive said this before!
With the job at the grocery store, I have contacted my ex coworker from another store, her job that she works at (janitorial) was hiring, so she pretty much gotten me the job. I am thankful for another job! However, her boyfriend just recently (yesterday) left because he needed more hours than he was getting, and so now he has found another job that is a 8am-5pm, 5 days a week and now he has left the one his girlfriend and I work at now.
I started pretty much last week and now Im in charge with 2 accounts, however I thought I would be having 5-6 hours at a account or have multiple accounts, but I just had 2 accounts, one takes about 4 hours and then a car dealership I partnered with somebody and it took 2 hours I thought it would be 5-6 hours! So pretty much my paycheck isn't going to be enough.
The thing of it is my rent is $550 a month
But just today my new manager called and told me that I will have other accounts and pretty much I will be working evenings 5 days in a week. So with the 2 jobs I have right now, I will be off only on Tuesdays and Fridays!
There is a grocery store called Sprouts which is getting popular and they are building one right now and they will open in September. I would really like to apply and work at Sprouts than to be cleaning! Also I can arrange a schedule that I would like to work at which would be 4 days a week and be off for 3 days saving up! I really didnt know about Sprouts until recently and now I really want to apply.
However the new manager has me as a team leader at the janitor business for one building! To be honest Im not really much of a leader and I don't think I can handle that responsibility because im the type that doesn't like telling people what to do. Not to mention Im a floater too so I will be going and cleaning different building instead of the same one I told him I would do it but I really didnt want to I would rather have a route that is a routine, but I said I would do it because I needed the job.
I really want to find a different job, I would rather be a cashier at a grocery store or if not that a receptionist and data clerk at an office. This janitorial isn't what I thought it would be! Even though I have more accounts my manager said that it would take 2 or 3 hours. So I don't even think still I would make it $550 a month. Im not sure how much I will earn per hour believe it or not, but its either $8 or $10 per hour! I will know on my next paycheck.
I personally would rather be at a job for 3-5 days and have 1 job than 2 jobs!
What would you do? I know that at the end of the day I can do whatever I want and it would be my choice! BUT
Is it wrong that I want to apply at another job, even though one of my coworker/friend got me a job? Also the fact I just started last week! I really want to work for Sprouts though, but I would feel guilty doing this though!
I would go to a warehouse or any real manual labor, and get a full-time job. Do not waste time with retail, and part time. Its just a complete waste of effort that could otherwise be useful. If your really going to stick with part time gigs then baby sit or work at a bar, you will make a lot more than your making.
Apply for the job you want and quit the janitorial job when you are hired, but in the meantime until you get another job keep working at whatever you can to earn a living.
@Squirl hypothetically speaking what if I do if I get hired at Sprouts? What will I say to my new manager?
Also Im applying for the Sprouts job right now what should I put in for my days availability? Should I just pretend that I dont have another job and fill in the spots that im available/want to work?
Are you guaranteed on getting the job at the new grocery store? If getting a job there is a sure thing, then just stay where you are until the place is ready to open. Just give your proper two weeks notice and thank the people again for giving you that opportunity.
I wouldn't have moved out making 700 a month, so I would move back in. I make finishing school my priority. Live on campus, take out student loans, whatever it takes. Then I would find a for real job instead wasting my time with BS part time jobs.
No its not guaranteed! I applied today though online! IDK if I got it or not! The application online was nice and easy, however I had to do a quiz in 10 mins and then a personality type of test assessment where it says(Strongly Agree, Disagree Neutral etc) I tried my best! I hate those test because they aren't really fair at all. I did what was know, and for those test you get it an interview most likey when you answer the strongly disagree or strongly agree! At the end of that they had a sign that says we will contact you if everything goes well.
If I dont get the job Im still going to keep looking for one!
I plan on going back to school for next semester though! Im probably going to have to move back in with my parents place too!
Are you still trying to complete your GED/HS diploma? Many employers require a HS diploma, before they consider you. It be much easier, once you get that done.
