Job Hunting

[Ends]

Well, after 18 years of being abused by Wal-Mart, I quit today. I know that quitting before I have another job is not a good idea, but I was at my limit. I'm mentioning this here because it couldn't hurt to let you all know that I'm looking for a new job. I have 22 years retail experience and 14 of it in retail management. I would love to get out of retail, but at this point, I just need a job, lol. If anyone knows of anything available that I may be interested in, please let me know. Let the hunt begin!

good to hear you standing up for yourself! and best of luck in the hunt dan.

Something I can toss out there right now is the banking scene. It's still considered "retail" but the hours are amazing and dont change during the holidays. If anything you work less in the holidays. And it allowed me to particpate more in the things i wanted to like events with the club, racing, and family events.

So that is an option to look into, as banks love those with retail experience. PNC, Chase, and Harris are what i hear the best 3 to try to work at.

I was considering looking into banking since it's so close now to the same goal of customer service and my retail experience could be a benefit there. Thanks!

Sorry to hear that but I know how it can get. I put up with an idiot for years. One of the reasons I retired so early.

Good luck!!

Luck be with you.

I'm not sure if I should say sorry to hear that or congrats?

If it was a crappy day every day at work, then your sanity and happiness should prevail over any monetary changes.

I hope you're able to find a suitable replacement for it... My mom works for BoxMart too and she has very similar things to say about the Corp.

Hey Dan, just want to wish you best of luck. I'm sure you don't want to relocate to Blo-No, although I do think we were 2 degrees warmer than Chicago this morning.

Good Luck Dan, been one of those years for me too, just keeps getting worse and worse. Now you will have your sanity though!

I would like to thank everybody for the help and well wishes. Not only the posts on this thread, but the pm's and phone calls!!!! That's why I love being part of this club, we really are one big, sometimes dysfunctional, family that really looks out for each other!!!! It's all been really helpful and kept my spirits up in this difficult time!!!!!!

Good luck with the search.

It's not retail, but UPS is looking for a lot of help. Management and non.

[Beedriver2]

I've been at UPS for 34 years (based in Addison). You could PM your resume and I'll see what I can do.....

Just saw this today. You could have been my helper, Dan! Oh well.
