Unfortunately, I made the decision to leave this job after my second training shift. I was so ecstatic over the job and this amazing opportunity that I never thought about looking up review on websites like Glassdoor. I started to become very weary of this position after Wednesday came around and there was no schedule posted for the following week. Thursday night I messaged a co-worker and it turned out it is a regular occurring thing to not have the schedule posted until the day before it is going to start. I then looked up job reviews, and those reviews officially set my mind of leaving. I am working very hard on living a healthy, stress free life. I decided I was not going to let a very part time job put stress into my life, along with dictating my life. I am sad that my amazing job opportunity turned out to be a dud, but I have to say a huge weight was lifted off of me after I said the position was not going to work for me.
