I recently started a part-time front office job and after four 8 hour shifts, I am thinking of quitting.
I was looking forward to the job because people have told me that the work environment was very good and supportive of students but that was before the new manager who is very disorganized and unprofessional.
I never got any training about the system that they have in their office. It's quite simple actually, just scheduling appointments, dealing with walk-ins, and issuing checks if needed. However, I needed an ID and password for all those and he never gave me mine and he went on his lunch. I was so embarrassed! When he got back, he already assumed that I had training even though I explicitly told him I missed training due to classes.
He also cannot understand that I have school. He has already called me thrice asking me to work even though I have stated on my availability that I cannot work those days. His excuse is that I can get paid for my job (pretty well too) and it would only be for a few hours (during a manager's meeting) and I can still make it to the rest of my classes and just miss one. I'm like Uhm... I am on scholarship. No.
Lastly, his scheduling absolutely sucks. He gives me my schedule like three days before. Is this normal for part time office work? I have worked in retail extensively and never have I experienced not knowing my schedule at least two weeks beforehand. I cannot be on-call because I have classes and need to schedule my time accordingly for homework and studying for exams and writing papers. I am graduating in two semesters and will not jeopardize my scholarship.
Should I leave this job? I feel bad because they are shorthanded right now (a lot of previous part-timers quit because of this manager) and this job does look good for my resume esp. in my field. It is also an established firm that stresses promoting from within. However, I feel like the job will just stress me out too much and ruin my studying schedule with his lack of preparedness. I am near the finish line with a great possibility of graduating with honors if I maintain my GPA.
I am not in any financial worries. My parents support me while going to school, I just like having a job so I don't ask them for $$$ so much and I can get started on my savings and support my splurges. I got the scholarship for academic merit and not due to lack of finances.
Should I leave this job? Help!
