we lost half of our staff in the beginning of the year when my old store manager went to open a new store. it was stressful but i kept hope that it would get better once they hired people but almost every since person that has been hired since then has not lasted and have quit. i work in a very busy store very busy area it’s very fast pace which i’ve gotten used to. because of this we used to have almost 10 partners on the floor in the morning during peak and when everyone started leaving it was 5 of us in the mornings and it’s become such a habit for people to call out that sometimes it’s 4 of us in the morning like today and i have to flex solo window and drive bar until whoever comes in next. i was working 25-28 hours a week which was fine i’m 18 i only got the job because i had really bad anxiety and wanted to work on my social skills. but in the last 2 months my hours have gone up to 35-40 i feel like i’m at work all the time i’m so tired and i’m the only person who’s hours have gone up some people work 3 or 2 times a week and i don’t understand i don’t even feel like i can tell my store managers without looking like a brat all i hear them say is they are scheduling as many people as they can but it just doesn’t feel like this. i requested 3 days off so i could rest and they got denied and i’m just so over it
