As I mentioned a couple of blog posts ago, I gave my notice at the toy store. As I stated in that post, it was hard to do because I worked there for so long. It was like working with friends or family (okay. Maybe not family...) I didn't mind the work, when it was busy, but, the scheduled hours and well, not getting enough hours during the week, was what pushed me to find something else.
I gave my notice in a professional way. Like I said, it was difficult to do. I know it was for the best for me and my family. Knowing the business side of things, I know it isn't the best time of year to leave, since holiday is coming up (the busiest time of year for the retail industry).
Since my resignation, I have been given the silent treatment by the managers and the owner. I guess it didn't help that another co worker gave her notice a few days after me (which is no fault of mine).
It isn't fun working when no one is talking to you. Well, I do have my fellow co workers who are still friendly. I thought of giving my remaining shifts away to coworkers. I mean, why bother going to work when no one (management) wants you there?
I thought about it and realized how childish the entire situation has become. I felt like I was in Junior High again and the mean girls decided to turn against me. I was feeling a little uneasy about leaving. "Am I making the right decision?" "What if things don't turn out the way I expect them too?" And then, it dawned on me.
Things are much better this way. It makes it a lot easier for me to leave. I realize that I am making a better decision by changing jobs and that I will definitely grow from this experience.
So, I will be working the rest of my shifts.
Possibly in silence.
