The final straw!!!!

[Stangman]

Work did it to me again... this time it was final... i went in today with the intention of working the whole day.... but once i saw next weeks schedule... i was too pissed off to even stand still...

I was on the schedule for ONE FUCKING HOUR!!!! yeah thats right, one damn hour... wouldnt even be worth driving to work that day!!!!

So I said FUCK Advance Auto Parts... Im done...

Im soooo pissed off right now i cant even think of crap to bitch about!!!!!

This is for the Manager of Advance....:punch::flipoff::AR15::sukit::squirt:

Call the corporate hotline, I am pretty sure that there is a minimum to how many hours you can be scheduled at Advanced Auto

[NXcoupe]

I agree, that's bs. There should be someone you can go to in that big of a company.

[R825OH]

Yeah that is def. some shit .you should be able to get some kind of answer from maybe a district manager?.

[DeckerEnt]

Damn dude. Advance should be treating their employees better.

Is this caused by some beef between you and the manager? There are plenty of ways to "push" someone toward the door, could this be why your hours have changed?

[Kevin Doe]

well I'm sure a manager won't put his best empolyee on the schedule for only one hour. Maybe that should be an eye opener for you. Just throwing that out there, not sure if it applies in your situation.

They used to do that to people when I worked at the grocery store, I don't think anyone bothered to work the one hour and quit.

[quik lx]

sounds like they were trying to get rid of you:confused:

[Stangman]

I was a parts driver... i was better at what i did than any of the others... i did not want to go on counter as i had done that for a few years at a prior job.... The manager is a dick plain and simple, didnt even have the guts to ever come up to me and even confront me about what was going on... the story he gave us all was that there were to be 30 hours of commercial side cut... and i had heard from another manager that works there that he had told me the DM called him and said "whats going on? there is about 25 hours floating around not being used"... he had got that call twice... you tell me whats going on... The store manager has been having personal issues amongst other things and he is taking it out on everyone in the store...

OH by the way, im not the only employee to get thier hours cut.... all the drivers got their hours cut... but since im the newest and lowest on the totem pole they are trying to get me outta there first...

[facemelter71]

I might be able to get you on an Auto Zone,what part of town you live in?

Man that just sucks. The advance I buy parts from can't keep drivers and it takes forever to get parts from them. It used to be much better. Good luck with whichever way you decide to go.

He lives in Sardinia. I know him and he is very good guy. See if you can help the brother out. Thanks

[stangman_5]

Damn jesse that sucks man atleast you quit before it got any worse......Well you quit anyways I really dont think it could have gotten any worse. Cheer up good things are heading your way I know it.

[facemelter71]

I'll check with my buddy and see if one of there stores is hiring for a parts driver.

[ihave1sweetride]

sucks to hear jesse!

[01rustang]

Maybe we should roll over by the front doors at Advance and do a 3 minute 2nd gear burnout and fling some melted rubber on their glass windows! :lol:

[2-8-1]

Damn dude. Advance should be treating their employees better.
Keith

From Experience, Advance treats their employees like utter shit. Not just Store managers, but it trickles down, from the top, they are treated like shit, so it just follows the chain of command down. At least its that way around here. Advance can't seem to keep anyone for any amount of time. There is only one store close that keeps employees very long.

[Stangman]

Thanks for all the kind words and concern people... I dont think i'll ever get back into the parts biz again after this one... i told myself going in it would prolly be a mistake... We will see what happens... the only thing i can do...

Im tryin to stay away from a long drive, the only car i have to drive is my '94 GT and i dont wanna lose money driving long distances...

and BTW, You peeps are great, ive been getting all kinds of PM's from people who have been giving advice and tryin to help out...

[DeckerEnt]

That is what friends are for. Keep your head up.

Stangman, you'll be back in the saddle before you know it dude. Remember, "you can't keep a good man down", and there are opportunities out there fitted to your skills which you haven't even dreamed of. Before you know it, the two of you will meet.:coo1:

Minimum hours for part time is 20hrs. Minimum hours for full time is 38hrs.

[Mista Bone]

worst thing you did is quit, no way to draw unemployment (if you had enough hours)......I'd still call corporate and bitch, nicely!

ya know... i thought about that after i did it... :HYF: for me...:rolleyes:

[Mista Bone]

Smyth/Parts Plus is always looking for drivers, quite a drive in on 32 though.

I'm gonna try to get on at the Milford Rt 28 location, since my current courier route starts two doors up at 6:30. It won't pay crap, maybe $8 an hour, but better than nothing!

[94cobra2615]

I didn't know it was you at the time, but you got me the right part when the other guy there couldn't.

The other guy had to order the rear tranny seal for my truck and it ended up being for the transfer case.

Turns out it was always in stock and you took the time to figure out what the right part was. :bigthumb:

Hey... I remember ya! lol, No prob man, if theres a way, i figure it out... when i can... thanks for the kind words...



And, im not looking to get back into the parts store biz again.... even as another driver...

[Mista Bone]

I like the driving, never did parts to businesses. I did drive for Performance Honda for a short time, make a daily run to Troy Ohio to pick up midday small parts orders.

Normally I was back by 3pm so I missed the Dayton traffic, paid $40 a day (5 hours @ $8) CASH....it was easy.

Sorry to hear that Jesse
