enough for them to even live; they still rely on their student loans. The only way they can support themselves is if they work 40 plus hours a week, but they end up not having enough time for their classes. It’s easy to see why people would be upset. 

     Personally, I feel that a big reason for rage quitting is the amount of authority figures who abuse their power and cause employees to not want to work with them anymore. At my first job, I can safely say that my managers were not ideal. They would always get in my face and scream at me for things that were out of my control. I had no problem telling them when they were wrong all the way up to when I quit. Luckily, my job now is a lot more enjoyable, and my managers are very understanding. However, I can’t speak for everyone.

     I feel that a lot of under-qualified people are being promoted, and this is what’s causing issues.This isn’t just in minimum wage jobs, but in high corporations too. In places, such as the school board, many higher-ups haven’t even worked the job they’re managing, but they are still allowed to have control over rules and regulations. Most school board members have never even taught a class, but it’s not the authority that angers me.

    One thing that has really affected me and my job personally is the amount of people who are scheduled that never show up. We’ve had to close the drive thru many times because of a large number of people who call out; some don’t even give a notice. I will never understand not going just because you don’t want to. If you have something planned, you should’ve prepared for it, but if you’re sick or have a family emergency, at least call. It’s very frustrating for your co-workers and managers because they have to find a replacement for you if you haven’t gotten one already, and that takes a lot longer than it seems. It kind of upsets me when I go somewhere and they’re understaffed. I wonder if it’s because they don’t have enough employees or if their scheduled workers just don’t show up. 

     I don’t think I can express enough how important it is for people to understand under-staffment. Not many customers seem to get that there is nothing that can be done about it except just wait for the right people to get hired, and the fact that many places are hiring and don’t think of qualifications for the job is really upsetting. If someone wants to help out their local business, whether it’s a chain or not, they should apply, even if they’ve never worked before.
