So awhile back (last Halloween actually) I punched out for the last time. I was a shift supervisor on the asm path, had a good relationship with my whole team and even my dm, i gave 2 MONTH notice. I was honestly only leaving cause I was really mentally exhausted and wanted to try and so something else. It took awhile but I got a job at my local school district and I really like that. In a much better place mentally.

Here's the bite though.

Summer came around and I though, "Hey, I didn't hate the bux and everyone always talked about it being really easy to come back to. Let's go and retry after all I was told if I need anything at all or ever want to come back. All I have to do Is ask."

So I applied. Didn't hear anything. Weird. I go in and chat with my friends and politely ask to talk to my old SM and omg you would think I kicked her puppy with how annoyed she looked to see me.

Gave me the corporate speech about how the store wasn't the right place for me and how I should try applying elsewhere.

I found out after the fact from a friend that she outright said she would interview me but under no circumstance hire me back.

This really became a venti rant.

It just hurts. I really went so far above and beyond for this company and even though I didn't always get along with her style but I did whatever was needed to help the store. Goddamn I worked a triple shift from 10am all the way through to midnight for the fucking clean play. Now I can't even get hired at other stores, cause no one will talk to me.

Tldr: I put my soul, blood, sweat, and tears into the Bux and now my old SM blacklisted me in the district just because I quit. I can't seem to even get hired at other stores. Just needed to complain. This ever happen to anyone else? What did you end up doing?
