Considering Sending This Response
It’s currently past 11 here. I’ve been so sick I’ve only gotten out of bed twice, not even well enough to go to the Walgreens across from my apartment to buy a COVID test.

My Last Job Threatened To Fire Me When I Only Had 4 Shifts Left, So I Saved Them The Trouble
We were down to 4 employees at a company where a full staff would have been 9-12, I was the most senior employee and I had only been there 6 months. The manager and regional manager continued to push for shorter service times per customer while also increasing the number of tasks that had to be completed per customer and expecting a literal 100% accuracy rate. After I was written up and reminded I could still be fired even though I had given my 2 weeks I decided me finishing those days was a waste od everyone’s time.
