High Turnover

There is absolutely no way I can stay at my job. Every day is something totally different. Having a job that changes regularly should be considered a plus, but when policies change at a whim with no supporting evidence that the new shift will be more effective, there is more of a "water bed" feeling (which just makes me motion sick). One movement from our manic owner causes her managers to put new pressure and policies into action with no notice. Since they have had almost 50 people quit within the last six months I would say that they are definitely not making their staff happy. While I hate being the person to leave a job without seeing it through, I feel my hands are tied here. Working retail has always been one of the things that I was good at, but was not totally excited about (mostly because of the schedule), and considering that retail is starting to look good again I must absolutely get out of my current gig. I told my manager I was feeling sick yesterday and left an hour early. Today I will call in sick. Tomorrow as well. That way I can catch up on the orders for clothing I have to fill and look for a new job. Thankfully the paychecks I get take forever, so at this point I have all of this month figured out already, and the kids that sign up on Monday will determine my first check of July. The one problem I won't have is waiting for my new job's paycheck without one from my last employer.
