Good for you for standing up for yourself! Ganbare with the teaching, I'm sure you will like it more. *squishy hugs*

Thanks! I'm toying with the idea of just not showing up for work. Let them scramble to find someone when I'm a "no call, no show". They want to take my hours away? They can have the rest of them too.

I LOVE your 10 minutes list. Never heard of it before - but it sounds so wonderfully logical. (logic appeals to me like a flame to a moth. ;) ) Will be applying this to my life from now on.

YAY for you being ready to move on and leave this terrible work behind you. What a terrible boss. I hate such unfairness.

I don't remember where I'd picked it up, but it's stuck with me for a while. I love how it forces you to see the mid- and long-term, not just the here-and-now. Had this been September, when I still had so many months to go before switching jobs anyway, the mid-term wouldn't have been good and I'd have probably forced myself to stay. But now everything is fine, so I'm fine with quitting.

And it's perfectly legal. The Fair Wage Board can't do anything, the Equal Employment Opportunity Council can't touch it because it's not discrimination based on something like religion or sex or color. I have to just move on and find better.

It's about time.

I'm pretty sure that's what my bosses were trying to do to me, till I filed a letter of grievance and threatened legal action. Then they didn't have a leg to stand on.

While I don't think you should work there any more, I think you should get them done for harassment. Because it is. Cutting your hours due to a rumour, not sure how it works in the US, but over here that is seriously frowned upon.

I know, right? I've been wanting to quit since I started. XD

It's frowned upon, but sadly not illegal. She as the right to cut my hours for whatever reason, and since there's no way she'd admit that to her boss it's my word against hers. All she has to say is "No, I cut her hours because we had too much payroll that week," and that'll be it. Honestly, I don't even care enough about them to be angry anymore. I'm done with them, ready to move on.

I am also contemplating on quitting my own job but for a completely different reason.

And I'm glad that you stood up for yourself back there; I wouldn't have done the same thing since I just couldn't be bothered. *sigh*

D: LJ ate my comment.

If you have another job lined up, go for it! If not, I recommend finding one and then moving on. Life's too short for the misery of a hated job.

I did, but mostly I let it go and moved on. I've been trying to get back into my Zen Buddhism practice. Less anger, more letting things not get to me so much.

Also, icon love. XD

I.. I don't have any fallback that's why I can't really quit my job right now. XD but my father is very encouraging about it, he's nudging me to submit resumes ('just for the heck of it' as he says haha).

I think I need to practice that in my life since I think I'm full of rage. I don't know where all these rage are coming from but every little thing humans do around me irritates me. XD

He's so badass when he's with Uri. X3

Ah, okay. You should totally take his advice~ It can't hurt, and you might find something better!

I understand that. That's why I started it way back when. Too much anger, and I knew it wasn't healthy for me.

He is. Most of the time. XD
