Whiny Coworker Quits Because She Didn't Get Her Way

As I was reminiscing about crazy employees with a friend of mine, I harkened back to an incident about a month ago.

Now I'm a store manager and had an employee quit...no big deal. I had a girl ready and willing to transfer from another store to which I readily accepted.

About 4 days in to her being in my store she sends a mass text to myself and the other managers that she needs two of her shifts covered. (oh yeah this is the week before Christmas.)

My assistant and I tell her her no and ask why. It turns out she had a Second Job she never told me about and they wanted her to train on the day she wanted covered!

I confront her, ask her when she was planning on telling me. She says she wasn't because she didn't think it would interfere. Right.

The Monday before she wanted her shift covered, we're into day 6, she sends me a text at 11:45 at night saying she quit. She wouldn't be in that day and that she didn't appreciate that she was bullied! She even went as far as to call my boss, who promptly brushed it off since I've had a very loyal staff for over a year.

The balls on some people, when they don't get their way, is simply unbelievable.

She thought the two jobs would never schedule her to work on the same day?
And then to claim you were bullying her?
I don't know, seems to me you might be better off without this girl.

At 19 I was working two jobs. When I took the second I told them about the first job and what my schedule was like. Told the first job about the second. 90% of the time my off days were the same and I went from Job B to Job A as B closed the office at 5 and I could do the evening shift at hellgreens.

It was a pain sometimes, but a check every week at 7+ and 9 an hour respectively was nothing to sneeze at.

She wasn't "bullied", she's just an entitled idiot.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Sounds to me like she was trying to make ends meet and having to change stores suddenly fucked up her scheduled.

I am willing to bet her normal shift changed when she transferred to your store and it interfered with her second job where the other store did not.

4 days into your store she noticed the conflict and tried to get it fixed. Also sounds like you were in willing to bend so she chose the second job.

Kel, the girl was inconsiderate and refused to work with the manager even though she never told them about her second job. It is HER responsibility to make sure there is no conflict BEFORE accepting the transfer. She was irresponsible and entitled.

Please, I had THREE jobs when I was in grad school full time. Barely saw the light of day, or a club, but damn I had to eat and have a roof over my head. You just have to learn how to schedule.

100% oh and I forgot to mention why the girl wanted to transfer to my store..because I had an opening for a management position. What my dsm and I think happened is she already had the other in the works and wanted to try and make it work but not telling me is pretty damn stupid. And yes she was a pretty entitled fucking bitch and no I have no problems working around other jobs/ school. Myself and my assistant are the only ones who have open availability everyone else has shit going on. But as I said when I got the text..good fucking riddance

At one point, I had five part-time jobs and was going to school full-time. This bitch can't handle two? ALWAYS check your schedules before accepting something else!

I'm torn I can see it from both sides here. She definitely should have been upfront about needing to work both jobs. You should have been more willing to work with her. Frankly you both come off looking like idiots.
