So a year after this thread. My new promotion got held off until the end of Feb because my old dept was shorthanded. In the time between accepting the promotion and it taking effect we had moved (not too much of a change) and my wife became pregnant. But that was fine and I was looking forward to the new job.
First bad spot was they were giving me $1400 a year less than initially discussed. Second was they were giving me a company vehicle. With the loss of mileage that meant now I was making the same or even less than I had been in my old position. Less wear and tear on my personal vehicle yes, but I bought truck primarily for work. So now I am paying for a truck I barely use when I could have kept my old one that was paid off.
Then a month in with the pandemic work got held up and I was back to helping my old dept. Only now on salary. With no overtime and no hazard pay I was making much less than I would have at my old job title. After the pandemic died down we got back into our work and things were ok. I had some gripes with some of the people I was working with but I was trying my best to deal.
Then they moved me back to helping my old dept again, pretty much for the rest of the year. One person (our worst) was going on medical for a few weeks. By the time she got back my wife would be going on her maternity so I would then be covering her position. First week working this persons stores I gave up. I had spent years by that point going behind this person fixing problems caused by their laziness. The supervisor was only too happy to ignore this person and rely on me to correct this persons mistakes. This time I told her no. I would work her stores but as far as fixing them I was done. After my wife gives birth I use my last week of vacation time to help her, then right back into it. A person goes on a weeks vacation, then has some mysterious injury the next week and has been out since. So since then I have been dealing with her wrecked stores, a warehouse that has been out of massive amounts of product before our biggest holiday, and store owners that dont get that I cannot do anything about that except keep ordering and hope it comes in.
So I made the decision this week to quit. It was most likely going to have to happen at the beginning of the year anyway. When my wife went back to work daycare was going to be costing us half of my monthly take home pay. And I was going to be out of town a lot meaning she would be taking care of the baby alone most of the week. So I could get a nothing job for far less money as long as I could work nights and weekends. So I was planning on giving my notice for next year, but dealing with the infantile store owners has pushed me to my last nerve.
