Mylotter friends, I've found out today, that Acme Stow,the store I've been working at for seven months today, is closing the store for good tomorrow night. This happened unexpectedly as I arrived at work o time. I've talked to two coworkers and HR before I spoken to the union. They offered to transfer to another location in West Akron (same distance as going to the shelter on same street), which I might do for a month. They've mentioned Meijer or Giant Eagle in Stow as well. If I don't take the transfer, I'll be let go and get unemployment. I've talked to my brother. He said to take it temporarily for a month until I find something else. I've also called Lauri and left a message with Raenell. I've also considered going back to Goodwill, though my friend Jen recently quit there. and won't hear back until Thursday. I might have to update my resume this week and look for new jobs, whether or not I take the offer. And then I have to call the bus to let them know the new location. I'm still in shock and going to miss the few friends I've made there, though I'll keep in touch with them via text after tomorrow. I'll call Lauri tomorrow before I wait for the bus to ask her for her advice, and then talk to my boss for a potential reference.

Sorry to be reading this. It's not good, is it? Your brother I think is right. Be easier to find another job whilst you are in work.

I’m sorry you didn’t get notice, and am sorry you have to find a job again. I hope you can find something you enjoy, and it turns out to be a really good thing.

I'm really sorry you're going through this, especially so suddenly. That must be a lot to process in such a short time. Hoping things work out smoothly with whichever option you choose.
