Hard Decision {Work Rant}

Do you guys remember I told you I was working at the hair store for a Korean couple? Let's ignore the fact that they're Korean because it has no relevancy to my job. However I began working here 4 months ago and was in need of a job and I accepted immediately without considering the pay. Now I'm wishing I didn't accept the job immediately because the pay is a huge issue along with going to school. Not only am I working 40hrs a week at minimum wage, I have no time to study for school. It's not fair to me at all. 

Recently a relative of mine (I'm very close with) was hired, and she quit after two weeks. She felt mistreated, overworked and underpaid. Now I'm being questioned on why she left. I have no control of what my cousin does and it's certainly not my job to tell them why she quit. And my cousin felt guilty for leaving without notice because she knew they'd question me but I wasn't upset at all that she left without notice. I could tell they treated her differently than me and only used her for their benefit because they needed another employee. Now I'm seeking another employment opportunity to pay more with flexible hours.

Mind you I still work at Victoria's Secret PINK, however hours and I've mainly been working at the hair store. And when my schedule at PINK was conflicting with my other work schedule at the hair store, the woman I work for asked me if I could quit my other job...ABSOLUTELY NOT! Even though I'm not working many hours there I still need two jobs. I have to pay for tuition, books, gas, and haven't even been able to contribute to buying groceries and household products...

I'm sorry to hear that. Adult life is sure tough and I'm still finding it hard to make ends meet as well. But I think you are doing a great job there for working two different jobs and to pay for your own bills and school. You deserved some credit for your hardwork. I think you should try talk to your boss and see how it goes. However if you still think and feel that its not what you want then you can always seek for other flexible job with a decent pay before resigning. I hope things get better for you . Dont be too harsh on yourself . Stay strong . It only gets better. Have a blessed day
