*sarcasm*
So when I came home(morgantown) I went straight to work to pick up my paycheck. I figured I might as well get the excitement/ disappointment over with. Plus I hate carrying my paycheck while I’m working, it bugs the hell out of me. So I get to work, and I go back and look at the schedule(force of habit). I ask Jessie for my paycheck and hand him my insurance for my car (Its a rule, I have to have legal insurance to pick up my paycheck.) So while thats happening, customers come in and it gets a bit busy. So I jump on register and help him out, and then grab the phone when it rings. Things die down (i was only there for like 20 minutes) and then Jessie tells me that apparently Steven (Assistant Manager) and Tom (Regular Morning Manager) quit. Considering how long Steven has worked there, and just.. his nature, that actually surprised me a bit and I wasn’t sure if it was just another JJ’s rumor that was going around. (btw JJ’s=jimmy johns, its just easier to type jj’s) So i end up going home, not really believing what Jessie said.
So I get to sleep and wake up, and go to work at like 9:40 (supposed to be there at 10) I get there and I’m walking towards the store and a co-worker of mine (Ian) walks up to me and he’s like “Did you hear Steve and Tom quit”. Naturally I replied “Yes I heard but I’m not sure if I believe it because it could be just another rumor.”
So when I got into work I asked another co-worker about it (Kris) and he said that he didn’t know of anything about it. So I figured it was a rumor. Sage (inshopper) got there around 10:50 and I asked her if she knew if it was true or not. She said that there was no way that it could be, but asked Danny(GM) anyway. Apparently Steven and Tom actually did quit and last night another driver gave his two weeks. Add to the fact that 3 people didn’t show up for shifts last week(meaning they’re fired) and 1 person quit. Thats 7 people in less than a week and a half.
But anyway, the reason for the blog title. Today another co-worker came in to get his check (Joshua) and I asked him if he knew about it. He responded with “Yeah they actually asked me to quit with them.” So apparently Steven and Tom were really trying to fuck over JJ’s by getting a bunch of people to quit (I asked a few others and they replied the same..that tom and/or steven asked them to quit with them).
This is the part where I really have to say “What the fuck?” I mean honestly. Steven is 18 years old and Tom is 20. I would at least expect Tom to have the balls to quit like a man instead of fucking up something he could have put on his resume (manager experience…seriously companies love to see that stuff, however if you tried to fuck over the company that you were a manager at when potential employers call..they’re going to find that out, and it doesnt look good for you.). He keeps talking about how he’s in business school, yet he’s fucking up this much?
Then pretty much the same thing with Steven. I mean really why not just tell Danny the truth, that you don’t like the hours that you’re working and that you would rather not be a manager, or hell give your two weeks. Don’t just come in a quit. Thats bullshit and a low blow.
But yeah, thats the dramaz at JJ’s right now. So glad that I’m going to be done there soon. Finally a vacation from drama and rumors <3
