@amicableox0685 I will be okay; thank you for your concern. I was forced to quit. My employer was manipulating me about store hours available and took advantage of me. I realized it after they cut my hours after hiring someone else. They knew that I wanted to work 3 days/week. When I was hired, I was told they couldn't guarantee me hours due to lack of hours available, which I was okay with up until they lied about store hours and took me for granted as I put my all into that job. In response, I decided to work slower one day and then call of the next day since it was proven to me that communicating with words wasn't going to be effective. Their response was to schedule me on days that my sister didn't work so I didn't have transportation even though there was a pre-hiring agreement to schedule me on days that my sister worked. I was forced to quit because it became too hostile. While it absolutely sucks being broke all the time, it felt good knowing they probably didn't expect me to quit lol. That place is a sinking ship anyway. Now I am searching for another job. I tried to get unemployment benefits, but have been going back and forth with the unemployment office and have almost $2k being withheld for me for partially ridiculous reasons. I've applied for over 80 jobs since August, so it's been rough (especially when the unemployment office is saying you are not allowed to have benefits because you are limiting yourself by looking for remote work only; I am searching for remote work only because of limited transportation out of my control and feel unsafe with walking or the public bus) but I'm hopeful since I've had positive feedback from employers. Being patient is the worst, especially when you are eager to not have to rely on people who don't understand you and mistreat/disrespect you.
