Hey guys, so this is going to be a little bit of a rant but I think I just need ya'll to talk some sense in to me. Just go easy on me because I know I'm going to be offended that you don't agree with me, even though I know I'm being stupid.
So, as it is now I either work or have classes every day, except every other Saturday and Sundays. I'd gladly work every Sat, need the money etc. The person that works Sunday afternoons gave us a weeks notice that she'll be gone for three weeks. The Sunday shift is 4:00-4:30. That's a half an hour shift...although you do get paid for a full hour. Big deal.
I'm the last person hired, and it was a super rough ride. My boss is super hard to work for, one of the other girls talks about everyone when they're not there (including me) and the other two ladies are super nice. So my boss is telling me that I have to work these three Sundays and it's in my job description. Well I don't remember her telling me that when I was hired but I have a terrible memory so she very well could have. The job description in the folder (general, not for me specifically) says that we're expected to fill in if someone isnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t able to make it. WE being the key word. Well I told the office manager (super nice) that I'll take the first Sunday but I really don't want to take the other three. I live 40 minutes away, in the winter I leave an 50-60 minutes early. Everyone else lives 20-30 minutes from work. I've filled in for two out of three people, on really short notice without complaining, and nobody else will take a Sunday shift. My boss talked to me today and said it was my job, she really likes me and doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to lose me but if I don't take these...
And she won't let me ask anyone else to work except the girl that only works Sunday mornings because she doesnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t want to cause stress among her "crew". Apparently I'm not part of the crew, I've only been there 10 months.
I guess my feelings are hurt, I fill in for everyone but now I'm automatically expected to cover these shifts, spending two hours driving for an hour worth of work, which is like $8 after taxes. And hey too bad if I don't like it, I'm just the doormat.
I don't know what to do, I want to say no, all the miles it puts on my car, all the gas money, it's going to cost me money and I'm always so accommodating for everyone else.
But then I think it would be stupid to quit over three shifts, I might not find another job for who knows how long. This is part of working. See, if it was a full day, or even four hours worth of work it wouldnâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]t be a problem, because I'm earning enough to make it worth my while.
I'm just so frustrated, I know my boss is going to talk to me about it tomorrow and she's so abrasive and comes across as patronizing and harsh and mean. Everyone has a hard time working for her and we all hate our jobs, I want to finally stand up to her but if that happens I don't think either one of us will bend and I can't afford to have no income.
Alright, well thank you for letting me vent! I hope it makes sense, I'm not proof reading because I should be in bed, up at 4:45am tomorrow for work...
