A PROBLEM YOU HAVE HAD
I started working at Gap 3 years ago. I worked on the sales floor in Adult, then in Kids/Baby, and now I work Shipment - going in on weekday mornings to open boxes and replenish the merchandise. Last year I was working one morning once every few weeks. My life slowly filled with other responsibilities. Recently, a sister brand has opened a store in the same mall and has taken several key staff members away from our store. This has led to a huge shortage of competent morning shipment workers, and now Gap is scheduling me 1-2 times a week.
I am trying to see this as God's provision. The extra cash is nice, but the added shifts are putting a huge load on my already full weeks. I am often having to reschedule meetings and appointments to make it to these shifts at all, and can frustrate other people in the process.
It has been suggested that I just quit, since I don't really "need" the money from this job anymore, but I don't really want to quit. I like the people there, and I like that they're not "church people". It is a different environment that everything else I do. Plus there is a wicked awesome employee discount that after having for 3 years, would be a huge bummer to lose.
I don't really feel God calling me to quit. I am hoping that after Christmas, the scheduling will calm down a bit and as more staff are hired/trained they won't need me as often. But in the meantime, it's a little crazy :/
