Too little too late

baronessekatI turned in my letter of resignation to LB on my way home. 5 minutes ago I got a call from the manager.
She apologized for not getting back to me sooner but said she had been out of the store and this was the first time she had been in since Friday. Um, OK.
They she apologized for the mix up on Thanksgiving weekend with the excuse that it was hard to keep track of 17 people's requests. Sorry, not buying it.
They she tried to blame corporate for not approving hours for people. I asked then why did they approve you to hire 6 new people for the holidays if they were not going to give you the hours to actually let them work? I turned down positions elsewhere, where I would have had working hours, because I had made a commitment to LB. I explained that the whole point of getting a seasonal position was to help pay for christmas, and with no work in 4 weeks it had been utterly pointless to have accepted. She had no answer.
She then told me that she had done the schedule for next week before she came in and got my resignation letter and had put me on for two shifts next week of actual work, not on-call and did I still want her to remove me from the schedule.
Yes.
This lame excuses and poor communication just totally turned me off from working at LB. Yes, I could use the money. But it's just not worth it for a part time seasonal job.
So, while I will still encourage people to buy there if their size and pocketbook allows, but I will not encourage folks to work there.
