Made decent money at the place but they were kind of bumbling idiots who didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to their business. I know several other employees were not happy there either. Two others gave their two week notice the day I was fired. Mind you I was fired while out of town for a family thing, not told I was fired, just taken off the schedule. When I asked why I was ghosted. So I applied for unemployment which I knew they would contest and they did alleging misconduct which was bullshit. Waited patiently on adjudication and just found out they never responded to the fact finding about misconduct but switched it to at-will employment policy (yeah I live in one of those shitty states - edit : apparently all states are at will except for Montana, weird for a red state). It’s not some giant amount of money but it will help since I’ve been dipping into savings and selling possessions on eBay or marketplace. Also ditched my expensive ACA health plan (made more expensive by me estimating a higher income based on work schedule last year which they promptly cut my hours at the first of the year) and qualified for food stamps which helped a lot. Place was a dumpster fire and they expected full time availability while only giving part time hours. While looking for a job I keep seeing job postings from there every week. I’d like to know how bad it is now and I will prob reach out to some people I know who still work there eventually, I didn’t want to while waiting on unemployment. I feel like I do have friends there but you never know if you’ll get backstabbed. Separately this summer has been a blast taking it easy and doing fun stuff I never would have had the time for and I’ve gotten tons of stuff done around my house. Oh and I filed a complaint because they wouldn’t pay out for a sick day that I had plenty of earned time for from about a month before getting fired. I’ll take whatever I can get.
