Well my mood had been pretty spunky the last couple of days... I had been feeling rather great (ranting and raving can do wonders I tell ya!) until I went to work today. I have to say that I must have the dumbest boss in the world, and each day that I have the displeasure of being around her, the more and more I'm convinced that she's a flipping moron! She called me into her office this afternoon and handed me a copy of next months work schedule and told me that she had to cut hours because buisness hasn't been all that great. I could understand her needing to cut hours until I realized that she had cut 15 hours (starting June 28) off the normal 40 I usually have a week (which will only leave me a whopping 25) and didn't even cut hours on anyone else. So I'll go from working 6 days a week to 4, and barely making $200 befor taxes are taken out... How am I supposed to pay my bills? My car payment?! And why in the hell would she only cut my hours?! There are 5 damn employees that work for her and yet I'm the only person she could take hours away from... 15 freaking hours?!? DAMNIT DAMNIT DAMNIT!! It's so unbelievably stupid and childish because I know she's doing it because she doesn't like me (she's made that very clear several times) and she wants me to quit, but I'm not going to give her the satisfaction of walking out. I'm so pissed right now I can't even think straight!! I just feel like screaming right now....

Some days suck... wheres the whisky?!

I would say move to California :-)I would say find a new job. You may not want to give her the satisfaction but you need to eat and commute so you need to find a new solution. Do what you can if it is hard to find work to get a job through connections of people you know. Find a way and if you need advice or anything you have my cell number and can always call for advice or anything. Just keep searching you will find a better job! Go Katie!

I have been putting out applications, and I'm hoping to put out more tomorrow after work, but I haven't had much luck But I'm still trying!! My sister just quit a job (she found one closer to home that pays wonderfully and has better hours), so I'm thinking of applying there!I even had a fav. customer of mine call me at work asking if I'd be interested in working for him and his wife (about five or six hours a week) around their house doing odd jobs for them. I thought that was uncredibly sweet!
-
Say wha...?! lolI'm going to ask her about it this morning when I go in... wish me luck, and heres hoping I wont say something I might (or might not) regret!
-
I hope you can find something a lot better. Make sure on your days off that you're working for yourself, looking for better jobs. Don't let your boss get away with paying you less and expecting the same amount of work.
-
Sorry to hear that Katie. Look for new job, you don't want to spend all your time in a work environment like that even if you are only staying out of spite... which is something I can respect.
-
Well it looks like I'll be having a few wonderful days off... I walked out this morning... handed in my key to the store and told her 'I can't survive on 25 hours a week and pay my bills and buy food, see ya... oh, by the way, hand me my newspaper, I paid for it, might as well take it'
-
Damn Katie Lou. Did she have anything to say to that?
-
I hope ya called her cunt while you where at it. In all honesty it was more than likely the best thing to do. Staying in some place you don't like just because it's paying the bills often doesn't provide enough motivation to move on to better things. For what it's worth, I think you probably did the right thing.
-
All I got was an "I understand"I'm relieved, but sad at the same time... I've been there for forever and a day and I've developed many friendships... but it's time to move on and forward ^_^

Lucky it was you and not me as Iv been known to yell fuck you, or lean over a desk and knock plant managers out for poking me in teh chest when they yelled at me, or shit on a desk for a pencil holder. People that make it a point to let me know who is in contrl and they dont like me...I make it a point to make certain they understand they cant control me and I hate them.
To shit on me and cut only my hours? Id of gone out of my way to quit in a manner that would of been talked about by future employees that never met me, stories to be handed down from new hire to new hire for years to come.
At Energy solutions, yes, that radioactive waste dump in utah thats always in teh news, back before it was energy solutions, back when it was ran by subcontractors....The day I quit is still spoke of :laughing: countless people have heard the chance story, and the sub I worked for isnt even out there any more!
The twat si lucky its you she shit on and not me...but I could give you a few lessons if ya wanted to go back as a customer :laughing:
