Ok...So, as some of you know and for those that don't....I worked at HEB...I say worked because I quit that damn place....I had the job as soon as I handed in an application (inside source) I went through the phone interview, the in-person interveiw, gave Scott & White my pee (drug screen) went through 4 hrs or training, got my health card and then was thrown into the deli and was told how to do a few things...no instructions as to where things were kept or anything on procedures....so, I had to ask lots of questions and got on everyones nerves (If I had been trained properly, that would not have happened) After the 1st week, I'm starting to figure things out and by week 2, I had everthing under control....was garuntied (sp?) 34-40 hrs a week @ $8.25/hr...I was so happy and enjoyed working...the money was good and so where the hours....what happened?
Here's what happened....I know this girl...she is my bartender at a local bar and a good friend of mine. She worked at HEB for 3 yrs. There was a manager change and the new manager hated my friend...she said and did a lot of things to her that made my friend mad...in otherwords, she cut her hours, stuck her with people she couldn't work with and made her do things she wasn't supposed to do.. Everyone said that she was jealous of my friend..After trying to deal with it for 6 months, she walked out. Well, somehow, the manager found out that we were good friends and after being there for only 2 months, she started to do the same with me...first she started cutting my hours, for 4 weeks I was getting 38-40 hours...that 5th week I got 24....the 6th and 7th week I got 16hrs and then the 8th week (my last week) I got 8 hours....Now tell me something...how is one supposed to live off of $18 a week????????
Why didn't I stay there and just look for another job? Because I've got other things in my life to do...The boyfriend quit his job to go out on his own and he needs me to help him. His reason for quiting is different...that will be a blog on his site soon...let's put it this way, he is making way more on his own, like more than triple in less than a week!!!!
Well, thats about it on the blogging thingy.....until next time, ya'll have fun...
