Jobs (cont...)

Ok so the issue with jobs continues....
.....yaaaaaay (pffft)

So two days after i started my job at Starbucks, RBC called me and asked if i was interested in a phone interview. I was very interested. The Starbucks job started Feb 1, the call from RBC was on Feb 3 and the phone interview was on Feb 7. And it went well which meant i had an inperson interview on Feb 16. I was told that if the interview went well i'd be notified by the 17th. Which was slightly hard to believe because Starbucks said they'd call me with in 48 hours if i got the shift supervisor job and it took a week for them to get back to me. I think if I hadn't called there first they would have forgotten and not called me at all. (yep my manager is that flaky).

So when RBC actaully did call the next day i was very surprised and extremely happy especailly because I GOT THE JOB! YAAAY! which means i'm now a mobile teller for RBC. Which has more hours and more pay than SBux, (YAY again).

When RBC called the first time I was very happy but at the same time I felt very awful about how the timing sucked and that if i got the job with RBC i'd be leaving SBux right after my training was up. And then when i got the job again i felt awful. But the whole time everyone kept saying that my boss would be understanding, but it didn't help much for the way I felt about the whole thing.

So then on Feb 18, the day after I got my RBC job I went to talk to my manager. I told him i had to talk to him and he seemed to be in a good mood and sounded kind of jokey when he asked if i was leaving and when i said yes he again sounded jokey in the way he initially reacted to it.

Then he practiaclly made me cry "i took a chance on you", "I very disapointed in you" "had i known you had a job offer from RBC sercumstances would be different" "i thought we had a deal" "why didn't you tell me about your interview" "blah blah starbucks career" etc etc etc. on and on and on about how he took a chance on me and how he was so disapointed in me. He wanted to know how much RBC was paying me and what kind of hours i was getting because he thought we could work something out. um.....unless you can double my wage and hours SBux i don't think so.

I would like to think that if i was every in the service industry as a boss and someone i had hired came up to me and said "im leaving, i have a job that pays more and has better hours" i would say "congrats, thats awesome!" and then later when they were gone freak out about how to fill their spot, not freak out at them and make them cry. It so hard going to an authority figure and let them know that you're going to let them down.

So, so long starbucks! Its not my fault the timing sucks. I handled the situation in the best way possible and have no regrets except for how my boss reacted. Thanks for being a douche.
