Update on being my own boss

So I wrote almost a year ago that I wanted to be my own boss and not work for someone else. While that is still the truth, my reason and desire to do so has been reaffirmed.

I have been working at my newish job for 7 months now. I got some great up and coming content from it but that's about it. I liked my job for a while then it seemed that all of a sudden things changed. Two of the managers started to micromanage. They also wouldn't back us up on anything.

My mental health has gotten worse. We also had 3 people quit in a month or 2 and we are over whelmed. Then it happened the week from hell. The only boss who actually cares wasn't able to come in that week. There were situations that came up with guest being extremely entitled and/or rude. The managers then apologized for our behavior. I get it, the customer is always right but does that have to mean that the employees are always wrong. Then they hired someone that barely wants to do the job she was hired to do.

Then my boss asked me if I needed my whole vacation that I asked off for. I was stunned, why in the world would I not want or need the whole time that I asked off for? Of course she asked in front of the person she just hired so I couldn't say what I really wanted to. I really wanted to quit at that moment but I didn't because of the new hire.

I felt betrayed because I have given a lot of family stuff up for this job and I hadn't really posted much here because of the job. I am going to try to post more here because I know there will be a day coming here soon where I will just walk away from my job with not much thought to what next.

In a perfect world I would apply for a job, get it keep it and turn in my two weeks with my current job but this world is not perfect. Like I said there maybe a day where I will walk away from the job I have now so I have to have a plan that reflects this idea. So my perfect world plan is to try to build my views back up while looking for a job. In this plan I would still work my shifts as scheduled but doing the other stuff on my time away. In the non perfect world plan I would put in my 2 weeks and try to write and find a new job.

I am trying to find a job in a bar or in another similar company. I would also like to look for a job in wine or something high end. That is the logical next step. This company has the worst turn over in recent history and from what I hear it's because of the management. It's true what they say, management will ruin good workers faster than burn out. At this job we have to deal with burn out and bad management, which is the worst combination.

Work is work and I'm not looking for perfect but I'm looking for better management. I believe I will find one day and if not I will have this to fall back on hopefully when I build my viewership up again. I will keep y'all updated.
