Is there a happier day than the day your sentence is up? Time to be a free man again for a little while. I work at a giant bank in the states called PNC. It's garbage.
We've been short-staffed since last year. I got hired with 7 people at the branch and it was running well, then. But since march of 2022, we lost 2 people that were never replaced. It was hard to make the metrics they wanted for us to make for that reason. I'm something they call a Universal Banker which means I'm responsible for the teller side and bank side (loans, credit cards, etc). But since we lost two people there's not enough coverage on the teller side so most of my days are spent doing teller work and not getting to do anything else. So after march and not getting new people, our manager left last September. Then I became interim manager(no pay bump) for three months until we got a new manager at the end of December. She hired one new person and we're finally back to 6 people.
However, then corporate tells me to go help another short-staffed branch 30 minutes away every single day, so i have to come to my permanent branch in the morning, then drive 30 minutes away everyday after my lunch to give lunches to the other branch, and then I must get back to my branch before closing to count down my box over here. so we're basically back to 5 people. Beginning of this April, our new manager quit the bank to work somewhere else and I'm still having to go to the other branch so my branch is theoretically down to 4. We get another interim manager that is possible the worst manager I've ever had and is the worst person I have yet to work for at the bank. She started in mid april, fired someone in may, we're now down to 4 people including this garbage manager. Two others quit because of her, leaving 3 of us left. Me, the other guy that started in Mid January of this year, and the garbage manager. She then quits on us on the busiest day of the 'effin month in June while we're thirty people in the line deep. And it was that day that I vowed to leave this fucking shit hole as soon as I was able. So we've had basically two people actually on the teller line and doing transactions since mid-may.
All while this was happening, I was doing night classes for cybersecurity from last December until mid-June. I have now been out of the course for a month and have not even looked at my certification test questions because I've been so rundown at the branch every day. We're the biggest foot traffic branch in the district and keeping it afloat with two people and now we're finally getting a manager from another branch and his employees to work here (which then leaves them short-staffed).
On top of this, our district is in a hiring freeze for I have no fucking clue why and i haven't gotten a raise since starting last year because these fucks only care about the metrics that I can't actually get because we're so fucking short-staffed.
But today is the last day I need to worry about this horseshit. I am over this dumpster fire.
