MissScripture Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 [quote name='missionseeker' timestamp='1313628586' post='2290215'] Well, I talked to him today. His answer is that he has two shifts that need to be covered. I can take one or I don't have a job. They are either 3pm - 11pm or All day Saturday and Sunday, Friday nights, and 2 more days a week. So much for "choice hours" and your choice. And "I don't want you leaving the cafe and biking home late at night". Honestly? I'm fed up at my job anyway. I've been there three years, never had a raise, am always on call, never get days off or paid vacation, am underpaid, the boss' family gets more hours than other employees. It looks like I have choice between joblessness and homelessness. And right now, joblessness isn't looking so bad. Maybe I can hold out until he fires me and I can at least collect unemployment. But they are hiring tutors and teachers' aides at the school about 5 mins from where I might live is, so I'm gonna apply for that. We'll see. [/quote] Prayers and best wishes, Chica! That is really beyond ridiculous! I know you've worked your behind off the entire time you were in school and then to be treated like this? STUPID! Especially since you've been there so long. Why didn't you get first choice on the hours? Cuz it sure doesn't seem like you ever did before either. I hope you can find something better! Who knows, maybe this is happening so you will look for something and get a way better job. We can hope, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG45 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I'd say she didn't get the choice hours due to the whole "boss's family" thing. I'd definitely apply for the tutoring and aide jobs...I'm pretty darn angry on your behalf because you were pulling mega hours while doing full time school and you're still getting shafted big time.

missionseeker Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 yeah we can hope, but if I get a way better job, than I don't qualify to live where I'm trying to live lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Oh...lol. We ran into that problem when we were looking for a place to live after moving, too. lol. So, I'll hope you get a decent job, but not a way better one, how does that sound?

BG45 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 We need a facepalm smilie...I commend you for still being so relatively upbeat when it's "I'm being hit over the head any way I go". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I think it might be the cynical sort of upbeat, where you have a big, fake smile plastered on, but you really want to rip someone's head off...
