I work in a small clothing store in the city where I live. I work about 15 hours a week next to school, which is perfect for me because I still have enough time to study. I LOVE working there - most of the people I work with are pretty cool, and we really don't have much to do.
Our store is connected to a bunch of other small store in the city (Actually most of the smaller clothing stores are connected and belong to the same company (let’s call them X) )
Now, I don't earn a lot of money an hour (6€), but I really don't have much to do. I was promised a raise to 7,50€ an hour5 months ago - I haven't gotten one yet. That alone pisses me off, because I open up the store 2-3 times a week along with someone else, but I have the responsibility for the store, which means if money goes missing during that time, it's taken off of my pay check.
That alone would be enough reason to quit, but like I said I love what I do - and most of the small clothing stores are connected anyways, so that wouldn't change much.
Anyways, so last Wednesday, we get a call from our boss, that they caught someone working in another of their stores stealing. Now, at the end of each shift and before each break (and at the end of each break) the person in charge is to check everyone’s bags - an then let someone check their bag. :yikes:
It’s also known, that they like to spy on us through our security cameras, just to check if we are doing our job. Here in Germany that is forbidden by law. It's never really been a problem though - and I haven't really cared until Friday. I had opened up that day - so I was on the first floor working. We have to keep our doors open no matter if its -20°C or 40°C outside - but at the same time we have to wear a t-shirt from the store. Anyways, so our doors were open - but it was FREEZING and raining and just generally disgusting outside, so we closed our doors, because it was FREEZING.
2 minutes later I get a call, asking why we closed our doors. I just told them that we were all freezing (there were 3 of us) and that it was raining in. So obviously that were spying on us (we didn't have any costumers at the time).
On top of it all, they like to call us up and tell us off on things that aren't true, or don't happen. They are just rude in general.
Now I really like my job. I like the people I work with and I like the girl in charge of our store. 3 people have quit already (last Friday to be exact), that are allowed to open up and are allowed to use the cash register. So now there's only 3 of us left that can man the cash register and are allowed to open up.
Would you quit? I feel horrible for wanting to quit, because like I said I really like the girl who's in charge of our store - but really it's getting out of hand. It's certainly not worth the money anymore.
