I’m currently in a frustrating situation with my seasonal job at a local retail store. I was brought back this season for some extra income, but now I feel stuck in employment limbo. I completed training and even received my first paycheck, but I haven’t been scheduled to work yet. It’s been a few weeks, and I’ve reached out multiple times to find out what’s going on, but I haven’t received clear answers. Other seasonal employees have started working, including my boyfriend, which makes this even more awkward. I missed one training day, but I was told I could make it up before officially starting. However, I’ve had no communication about when I’m supposed to start or how to make up that training. When I emailed the managers my availability, the general manager's response was vague and didn’t address my concerns. I feel like they might want me to quit instead of firing me, which would save them from paying unemployment. It’s really stressful because I need to know my schedule to plan my availability and income realistically. Part of me is tempted to quit because the uncertainty is becoming overwhelming, but I don’t want to create tension for my boyfriend who still works there. I’m considering sending one final message to ask for confirmation about my schedule and the training I missed, but I’m unsure if I should just move on and look for another job instead. Any advice on how to handle this situation professionally would be greatly appreciated.
