Today I went into work since a worker quit all of a sudden and they were short handed. I don't work on saturdays but I said I could but only until 9:00a.m. The manager said it was okay.

I got to work and the person who I had to bake with didn't really know how to ice the cupcakes all too well. I did most of the icing, he did the oven handling as I was afraid of being burned lol.

The orders were a mess as there was no one to watch over us as we worked. I was being held back the mother in law of the boss when I really had to leave at 9:00. She was getting irritating as she would stick next to me a lot and because she expected me to stay when I told my manager before hand that I had to leave at 9. I iced customed cupcakes, about 50 of them, and asked my coworker to ice the 20 left over.

He said he would and he did. However, there was a mini cupcake custom order where you had to make butterflies on it. I had to go so I assumed the coworker was gonna stay and do it.

Turned out he left right after icing the 20 cupcakes because:
1. He wasn't paid in a month (we get paid every 2 weeks)
2. He wasn't a great icer (I think it's just an excuse, you can always try)

Later that night, I called the manager to tell him that I was going to go with quiting as I mentioned before. I told him that I will continue working for the next week but that would be it. He said okay. Then all of a sudden he blamed me for leaving early when I clearly told the manager that I HAD to leave at 9:00. The call ended.

When the call ended, that's when I started replaying the conversation and I felt extremely angry. I came into work, gave my time to work there even though I didn't work on saturday, I helped as much as possible and all of a sudden he's telling me it's my fault for how everything went? I've only worked there for 2 1/2 weeks.

I was paired with a person who started in August but wasn't very skilled with icing, did my best to finish over half of it, and he goes and says I ditched my responsibilities when I clearly did what I promised to do. I felt extremely taken advantage of since:
1. I wasn't paid for the 2 weeks I worked
2. I did most of the work I was promised
3. It's like he's saying the coworker left because I wasn't there

I am not the supervisor and am just an assistant. What he told me was uncalled for and I felt extremely angry. I'm going to talk to him tomorrow up front if he comes and tell him what needs to be told.

This is not elementary where, if you blame someone else for your mistake, everything will be fixed. This is real life, and blaming me is only gonna make me want to quit even more since I did my best and did what I promised only to be something such as a scapegoat.

GRAH! I got accepted into Bloomingdale Restaurant bakery, I hope over there isn't like that either.
Blek...

That's all for now!
