"That's Amazing"

I quit my job today. I left them extremely short staffed and stressed but I'm really not concerned. My boss was very angry and I didn't care. I know it's very unprofessional to quit a few hours before you are supposed to come in and work but it is also very unprofessional to refuse time off when one of your employee's has a severe family emergency.It's also very unprofessional to schedule your employees for ten days in a row with no time off because it's "christmas and boxing day."
I need a place of employment that is a little more flexible and willing to work with students. I also need a place of employment where my manager doesn't yell at me for every single shift that I work. In the last month, my manager has not said anything kind to me. She has yelled at me, made unprofessional comments on the sales floor and called my house more than three times in an hour looking for me to come in and work. I also don't need her making comments regarding my health issues or telling me that I am plus sized.
She was going to write me up again today and I really didn't feel like going through that process again today. So instead I quit. I have work placement in January for school and I still need to attend 32 hours of class a week. I need a job where I can work a few shifts a week and I know that every job has its own problems and stresses but I am exhausted.
So unfortunately with the job goes the awesome discount, but in the end it isn't worth all the trouble.
Look's like my schedule is clear and I can enjoy the rest of my time off.

It sounds like you were done with that job anyway. Good luck!

You didn't give her a slap? Wow! Self control!

Never stay where you aren't happy. Nothing is ever worth it.

Happy New Year babe x

I agree with 4D. Not only you did the right thing by quitting, you should have told her what she was in front of everybody, like she used to do to you. And you should have threatened to report her as well, because those comments she made about you being 'plus size' are very close to discriminating.

Let her burn.

I never got to the part as to why the title of this post is called "That's amazing." I titled it that way because when I was on the phone telling my manager why I was quitting she just kept saying "That's amazing" in the most sarcastic tone imaginable.

They were asshats. No time off when your sister could be dying?
Screw them.
Nah, don't.
I've seen 'them' Not much action going on there, I imagine. They would like it too much.

That was mean, but I am cranky.
