Why did you quit?
uhh...I'm afraid that if I go apply for jobs now..I wouldn't know how to answer that so I will need some help. I heard that it is not good to 'bad mouth' previous employers...but here are the reasons why I quit my last job.
first I was unhappy with the wage. Baristas (for coffee) usually get like $9 right? But I started with minimum wage and still no raise after 3 months after I worked there! Usually retail companies do wage increments after the probation period right? And the thing is, a month after I started work I had a keyholder position, with more duties and still get paid the same?
Also there are many times where I provided suggestions that will really benefit both the company and customers. (even my co-workers agreed with me). But the employer didn't listen or care.
And then I'm also very upset about how they treated their employees. We were expected to work no matter what unless we can find someone to cover the shifts for us. One time my legs hurt really really bad. I called them in the morning telling them I can't go to work at night because I could barely walk. And they were like "well what do you want me to do? There is no one that can take your shift." But my point of view is why didn't he hire people on a regular basis so that there are more employees that can work? in fact at that time many employees were trying to give shifts away because we were all busy. I was pretty upset that they did not train other keyholders or hire new employees until I quit.
I liked everything else about that job except the employer. So, what do you think I should say when I was asked about why I quit my last job? :/ (p.s. feel free to share your bad experiences too..)
