goodbye cheesecake.
So,
I quit The Cheesecake Factory. I already feel like a weight has been
lifted off my shoulders! It was ridiculously
stressful and they were so
unprofessional. I had already made the decision before I went into work on Monday. I was checking my facebook in the morning and
Monica, Jeremy's (my boss at Coffee Bean) girlfriend had
messaged me. The woman had been messaging me like crazy since I quit Coffee Bean! Haha. There was something she said that
stuck with me and pretty much helped me with my decision. She said "
You have your whole life to stress out at jobs like you are at Cheesecake, and with you starting school soon I think you should be able to feel relieved about one aspect of your life, which would be working at Coffee Bean. You know everything there, you know how much the people there love you, and it's easy for you to do! Why not leave the stress for school only, not both work and school?!" This is absolutely true.
Why would I do that to myself? I'm taking four classes this semester, and I stress easily when it comes to school so why would I want to be dealing with that AND dealing with stress from a new job? Meh.
So I told Jeremy I wanted to come back, and he said he would give me
full time benefits (vacation, medical, etc) and a pretty good schedule. From what I know,
I'll be opening Friday-Monday, working later Tuesday, and have Wednesday & Thursday off. That works perfect, since I'll have my classes Mon-Wed nights, which means I won't have to get up too early the next day after getting out of class, and Thursday will be my full day off.
I decided to go into work at The Cheesecake Factory on Monday just to get one last day in, and the way the day went
just proved why I was quitting. First off, I showed up to find out that I was opening
by myself. I had a bad feeling all morning that I was going to be myself, which
I wasn't ready for. I mean, what makes them think that after two training opening shifts I'd be set to go on my own? I fully admitted to the managers that I had no idea what I was doing, and Grace (Bakery manager) was like, "
I gave you two or three training opening shifts.." Um, I'm sorry,
I really only had TWO legitimate opening shifts, the first one was with a girl who hadn't opened in a long ass time and was also dead tired..doesn't make the best trainer for my first day. Second of all,
why wouldn't you ASK me if I was ready to open by myself? You'd think they want to make sure I was comfortable before I just went on in there and opened the bakery by myself. I mean, seriously..Anyway, another baker, James, who also happened to be my trainer for the day, came in around 11:30. I told him I didn't know what I was doing and the response I got was so frustrating..
"Well, Amber..I like you. I think you're a hard worker, but I think you just say you don't know how to do something when you really do, you're just too scared to make mistakes." What the hell?
You don't know me!
Ugh, it took
everything in my power to not walk out. I already knew I was quitting, so they're lucky I even stayed
The day went on pretty smoothly after that,
I even passed my certification. Yep, I am..or was, certified to be in the Bakery. Oh well. Fuck that place. They're completely unprofessional and just..ugh!
So glad I'm done with that.
back to my home.
Tomorrow is my first day back at Coffee Bean! Yay!
I'm so happy to be going back. I feel so wanted there and I'm just happy it's all working out. I just wish I could work more this week..I only work tomorrow and then I'm off until Monday. Boo!
I'm gonna be so boredddd!
I really need to hit the gym. I haven't been in like, a month..gosh that's bad! I've also been eating horrible. The
10 pounds I lost last month has probably been gained back..
I wish food wasn't so damn delicious. Life would be so much easierrrr!
Well, that's all I have! Time to go do
absolutely nothing besides sitting on my ass, haha. Woot.
Xoxo,
Amber

YAY!!!! I feel like you will be much happier not there. And yay for benefits and better hours at Coffee Bean! 
I like to share!
I'm so glad you took your coffee bean job back 
I think I would've done the same thing too. They love you at Coffee Bean and now you get better benefits too =] No need for all the stress!
I don't blame you for quitting the Cheesecake Factory at all. From the sounds of it I wouldn't want to work there either, especially with the way they treated you and just threw into things. That is very unprofessional and just sounds like they wanted you to fuck something up, not that you would, but ya know.
Yay for no more stupid Cheesecake place!!!! 
ryc; ohh dear haha 
Yay! 
haha
