I suppose this is rational...

Just wanted to say good luck. I know it seems scary but, it looks like you have it all worked out. I've heard several ppl complain about walmart not working around school hours. So it's probably for the best anyway.

Thanks Katalina! :) I actually just checked my schedule online (since they post 3 weeks in advance) I put in my change of hours form 3 weeks ago with my scheduled stapled to it...and highlighted the times, and was even asked about my school schedule last week by my manager again...and they scheduled me through the hours I have to be in class, my first week of the semester, oh and didn't cut me back hours either.

Thankfully, that's my last couple of days I'll be working there anyways, so I'll just do the hours I can those days, and if they don't like that...so be it. The point is, they don't know I'm putting in my notice, as far as they know when they made this schedule, I was staying employed there...and they didn't take my school into account.

LOL...so glad I'm able to run away from this job. I'm almost certain there are a few walmart stores that help their employees out with school...but mine most certainly doesn't.

Just an update, so I can rant a little at the same time!

So, I put in my two weeks notice, had to write a note explaining my decision (briefly) - it's been a day, and it got to the store manager and he had a fit asking for them to try and find a way to keep me, no matter what it meant. My supervisor came to me, practically begging me to stay, that I can work as little hours as I need to, because I do more in 2 days than everyone else in my department does in a week. I was bluntly told that I was the best cashier and worker they have in the Garden Center and the only one that takes initiative for anything...and she told me she didn't want me to leave her with all of the others just yet! ...I'd be lying if I said it didn't feel good to hear all of that, and to be so wanted that they ask me to retract my decision. I told them I could work 3 days, with a maximum of 24 hours only, and only 3 days a week, and for them to be Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. Hell, I even got to PICK the permanent hours I want for those days. It was great. I guess sometimes you gotta go to the final step, before they realize that push comes to shove. :) I'm so glad! I have a job that I'm so familiar with through my last semester of pre-reqs! Of course, they know I'll leave once time for the LPN program comes...but I'm so glad I finally got what I wanted!

I cut back my Customer Service job from 40 to 32 hours when I was doing the beginning pre-reqs I needed. Money was ok at that point. I didn't get paid much so we were doing the same. Then I started Nursing School for LPN. I actually quit my job, we moved in with my parents, as my Mother didn't have a job at the time, and we helped eachother out. It was crazy hard to live together and with 1 month left of school we moved out and rented a craphole just so I could finish school. It was worth it! Now I work full-time, get paid really well and currently have an awesome job that will allow me to go back to school for my RN fulltime without having to worry too much about money. I just don't get to sleep much
