Why Me? Here is a safe space to let it all out, where you can rant about all the bad things life throws your way. Sometimes it just helps to ask "why me?"
I hate being anxious and indecisive. I have to think about myself for a change.
Hi, I hope you are doing okay.

Either my best is good enough (while you admit I have limited hours and no support) or it isn't. And if it isn't, I'm allowed to complain that it isn't fair without you threatening my job.

"One of the few available" my ass. That's why you scheduled literally EVERY OTHER ADULT despite the fact that I'm one of 2 expected to do inventory after a full shift with only 5 and a half hours in between! It's not my fault all the new hires are minors, I didn't write my schedule, and it's not my fault that she requests EVERY FUCKING DAY OFF!

I knew I wasn't realistic and that when reality finally hit, it would hurt. But, I'm starting to see the side of you I was warned about. Everything is changing, nothing is ever good enough, and it's clear my goal is no longer reasonable. As much as I don't want to, it's probably time to go.

I completely understand not wanting to work for free, but this is YOUR store, and they're brining in a manager from out of state because you aren't willing to come in...

Not completely dreading work for the first time in weeks, and hoping a conversation with my manager will keep me from quitting. It could always go the other way though.
We are talking about this before you leave tomorrow. Because if 4 days is the new normal for me, I'll see you even less than I already do. And by the time I get a chance to deal with it, it might be too late.

I REALLY hope you ask for feedback about this, because I have answers and suggestions. You're not going to like them, but I have them. You have management experience, but NOT retail experience. I'm the opposite. I can be extremely valuable to working out a solution to this; but if you're going to continue to dismiss it, blame us, and threaten punishment, then you're going to sink, and I'm not going to go down with you.
