work is ok.? i like the job and most of the people.? management sucks.? i suppose that a lot of people feel that way about their jobs.? i just get irritated by them when they schedule me on a day i request off.? ok, i realize they can’t honor every frivilous request off, so if i request off because i’m going to the beach… whatever, i’ll deal with it.? but if i request off because i don’t have anyone to watch my child… it means i don’t have anyone to watch my child.? newsflash: i’m not the kind of parent who’ll leave their child at home unattended for hours on end.? on top of that, i keep getting little digs about not working sundays.? ok, here’s the thing.? there are no issues with mom watching him saturday or sunday… but making it so she can’t get anything done away from home all weekend?? no.? that’s not working.? i get little comments about how it’s a problem that i can’t work both days of every weekend.? excuse me?? hire more? people for weekends then.? i have no doubt they’re out there.? you’ve apparently been turning people away all summer who’ve asked if you’re hiring.? surely some of those are brides to be who are looking for extra weekend work to pay for their dream weddings or something — that’s what my sister did, actually.? sunday?? yeah, it’s a premium day.? they pay a dollar more an hour on sundays.? most people would prefer sunday to saturday anyway.? it gets better, i talked to someone the other day who’s worked at other stores, stores owned by the same family, the whole “everyone must work both days of every weekend” attitude is only maintained at the store i work for.? nice, huh?? at the other stores, sunday is voluntary… being a premium day and all.
