I found out yesterday that I'm losing my job. I've been there for 6.5 years! They think I'm a great manager, promotable even! The issue? I can't close 2 nights a week. It just doesn't work for my family. I can do it when needed, and always have figured something out but that's not good enough anymore. I understand they have expectations. I get they have a business to run and don't want to bend the rules. I really get that. What I don't get is why it has worked for so long to work around this...and not just for me but for other managers as well...and suddenly it's not ok. How can I be good enough to promote but not good enough to bend the rules to keep? I know I can find better, something that will give me the income I need and works for my family but right now it's really stressful losing my job and thus my insurance right before Christmas.
To top it all off, all this stress and being sick for 2 weeks has caused me to get shingles while I'm still fighting off a sinus infection. I feel like I've been hit by a bus. I have my alarm set to take meds 7 times a day! 15 total! I don't even like taking tylenol so this is not fun. I'm hoping in 7 days I will have nothing wrong with me. I figure I have one pill going after virus' and one going after bacteria's...it's bound to get everything right?
