Ummmm...bad news or good news, not sure yet. · 10:09am Oct 21st, 2016
Ok...I should start this blog with "my story is NOT being canceled."
The gas station I work at will be starting to close at 11 every night as of Saturday October 22nd. The worrying bit is that my schedule for the coming week of Saturday to Friday....I have only one day....for five hours....I'm a good worker too, I did more than what is listed for me to do, or at least all on the list mattering by my shift. But I have one day....ONE!!!! That worries me, since it's just five people working there. Manager, two assistant managers, and me and another cashier. Only one of us work at a time.
Sure I can understand a few days a week but ONE?! I mean...DA FUCK?! I worked at that store since it opened, I have done everything I could to uphold safety, and keep it clean, and more. But this one....five hour day....than no more days for the whole week....my mom says maybe vacation days, but that doesn't make sense since one of the AMs came in after I started (she started same time I did btw,) and left cause her other job wanted to promote her....they fucked her over though....than she came back as an AM, and had vacation days in a month....I worked a year with only two days off a week, and I have not had ANY vacation time OR had a SINGLE SICK DAY. And don't forget my calls in from when everyone quit except me and an old AM who moved to West Virginia...I think...his wife was transferred to a base cause she's army...or something militaristic.
I am hopeful it's vacations days I have, but I'm still worried cause I was told nothing. I know there would be cuts to hours but from almost 40 to 5....kiiiinda drastic of a cut, I am full time, not....this. I am seriously worried I'm being let go or fired for working my ass of for that place...
We get told of fake 20s being used and even coming from BANKS!!! That I look into every 20 bill cause the banks are fucking up with them as well....that is serious grade A forges for so many 20 bills to come from the fucking banks. I check odd feeling fives and tens too, and I got told off about it because I ID people who didn't look over 28, and griped and bitched about it, because I can't remember everyone. After so long people look the same, and with my bad memory as it is, I can't help it.
If they fire me, I will find a way to contact higher ups and look into this bullshit. I will do what I have to, so there may be a chance the story may be put into a stand still for a while. It better be vacation days or I will be furious....when we had part timers with BIG hours to spread around, they got 15 a week...I got put to 1/8th my time...if full timers at this place is five or so....part timers wouldn't even have 2 hours a day most likely by that standard....
This has me at a serious fearful, and angry point right now...I was LUCKY to get this job...no experience or anything except through programs back in high school...and the first manager before he left said he was proud he hired me, that he felt he knew this store would do well with me there. That I did all I had to, and could do, maybe miss a few little things, but that's all he could ask for.
And now I'm still working as hard as then, and I feel I'm being looked at as a lazy fuck, that doesn't do his shit, when on camera and all that I do. I feel like the management see me as a threat to their cushy position of early hours, low customer, hours. I don't give a fuck of position, I need my job to pay off these damn cards I have that was used to fix the house!!! PERSONALLY I'M AFRAID OF A MANAGEMENT POSITION RIGHT NOW. I don't feel anywhere near ready for that kind of position, and I feel like I would forget a major thing and royally fuck up.
But I I'll find out in a couple of hours...I think....I hope....
