Ugh. I just got word today that I am not assigned any work this week. Add a salty lemon to the wound, it seems I got more complaints from customers and accidentally wasted some blocks of meat due to accidentally shearing off the expiration dates on them (although I thought I aimed away from them), and what (to me) felt like a final warning from my department manager.
Fortunately, I've been advised to speak with the store manager to get me a less stressful job in the store (looks like I'll be price-changing again). Unfortunately, that isn't going to make me avoid my employee review this week. From where I'm looking from it's not looking too good. I sense a 50%-75% chance of layoff.
The good: I would no longer have to deal with annoyingly ignorant customers
The bad: I'll have to find me new work, which is damn-near impossible as it is. (but there's still the alternative presented, but it doesn't look too likely schedule-wise I'll fall back)
The worse: I might have to swallow my pride, and try and find work at my past workplaces (not likely however, let's not forget, like they were any better?)
All I can say is, thank goodness for my timing to commit to the freelance job site I was advised. I just need to pass more tests, and improve my resume a tad, and hope things work out for the better. I mean, I'm not in a good position to lose my job right now. I mean, pray that some sort of miracle would come out of the blue to save me, or at least, lend me a hand.
Oh yeah, I've been getting tons of deja vu lately; I'm a little nervous, because the detail is getting rather deep and extremely familiar. Last I felt it, I lost my last job. And according to what I calculated, I might end up losing this job I have anyway rather soon. Negative, sure, but at least I'm readying myself for the worst, just in case.
All this has been making me feel rather sickly lately.
