Constant-Elk5958's journey

I'm currently working at a retail job and I'm feeling really frustrated with my hours. I started off strong, working 44 hours a week, but recently things have taken a turn for the worse. Last week, I only got 15.5 hours, and this week I'm at 29 hours because I had to pick up an extra shift. Next week, I'm down to just 5.5 hours for one shift, which is really not enough for me financially. I'm 17 and in my second year at this job, and I was hoping to get a promotion by now, but I was told I wasn't 'qualified' enough. This is really disheartening, especially since most people get promoted by their second year. I enjoy the work, but I can't keep going like this with such few hours. I'm torn between waiting to see if my hours improve, talking to the scheduling team, or just putting in my two weeks and looking for something else right away. I really need the money and I feel like I'm losing my mind with so much time off. Any advice would be appreciated!
