My job is already under staffed. We have 2 women on maternity leave (one week apart from each other xD ), one of them is highly unlikely to ever come back. The other one visits us often and communicates a lot so I know she's coming back, but not yet cause her husband also deployed rn.

So there's been 4 of us. Store manager, asst manager, me and this dude who just quit on the spot yesterday.
So now there's 3 of us. I'm not in a key holding position so that means one of the 2 managers needs to be there open and close. We all normally work open-close shifts anyways, myself included. Just normal practice cause we're on commission. But now there's more pressure cause we lose days off, and normally we would get 1 half-day shift and 1 short (but not half) shift every week, with 2 days off. Now we lose all short/half days D: and one week we lose days off too

Its not too terrible, 45 hour weeks (and a 50 hour one coming up, cause one of the managers is required to go on a business related trip for a week so we'll be down to 1 keyholder and me sdjhfgsdj)
BUT IT STILL SUCKS

LAWD GIVE ME STRENGTH until that maternity leave ends and we get another set of hands back in!
and big ass sales to put more funds in my pocket over this >:0
thats almost a given though

@sunny:
We've been trying to hire someone for months!!
There's a process where we'll interview a ton of people, pick out a handful to do a second audit-style interview with our regional manager. But then he would reject all of them. He's rejecting SO MANY people that we like and then he blames us because no one's been hired yet.
Our regional manager is a great guy but I think he might be setting the bar way too high for his standards... That, or it might be the drug policy getting in the way. Our company goes off of federal standards, where things like pot are still not legal on federal level. So employees cant use it at all or risk their job if ever given a drug test and fail. Many candidates get turned away by this cause its kinda stupid. People should be judged by performance... >>

@Sunny:
I hope so too :'D
To make things harder we have a remodel going on simultaneously so we cant hear anything
I dont exactly blame the guy for quitting, just wish there was at least a week of notice

@aisukohi:
Oh gosh, I'm sorry! I feel like this is just such an issue right now D:
We're in a similar place with having no one in our warehouse staff at all, so even though we're supposed to be commission-based sales associates who dont commonly leave the floor, we very often have to spend much of our shifts in the back warehouse to do trucks or inventory. Its a long process and we lose customer opportunities. ANd those of us who remain on the floor are overwhelmed with customers and phone calls. Its a mess!

Hope we both find some non-felon people to hire soon D:
We've turned away so many of those too, from domestic abusers, sexual abusers and child porn records... its sometimes disturbing to interview them

@aisukohi:
Ugh yeah, dont even get me started! It drives me crazy that people are so comfortable not working at all. I can enjoy about a month of no work kinda, but after that I get so depressed if I'm not out doing productive work and making income o:
I dont get how people do it

@totalanimefan:
The company would probably never reduce the store hours, they'd rather us work every day before they consider that Lol
They can be a bit cutthroat sometimes!
We're trying hard to hire someone, but no one can pass the audit interviews so far because of felons or drugs
