They know I won't do it. It sucks though, someone calls in sick to my work nearly daily...
Its sad though..some people work at my job their whole life...
..I make 9.50 an hour though so I guess it's not that bad.
I just got a raise up to 8.10. Our cost of living may be less, I'm not sure. It is decent pay compared to what else there is around here.
People call out at my job a lot too. And than those who did show up get bitched at for falling behind. I have gotten into screaming matches on a regular basis at my job. I swear, they should want us to all show up stoned. They just recently stoped walking all over the resturant telling back of house to "smile."
I do smile at how poorly the resturant is run sometimes.
The dreaded morning shift has been the demise of my work-life.
Wow, JE, my job is kinda similar. I had to put my foot down, and trust me, I did it early.
We're supposed to fire people if they no-call, no-show, but we kept having some associates who wouldn't come in or call. They wouldn't fire them, pissed me off so bad. To make things worse, I was the one they called to cover the shifts
Very early they learned not to do that. I won't answer the phone unless I want to, and even if I'm there and they try and guilt me, I'll tell 'em to piss off (not literally).
What's worse is we've got these new communist-like store managers who want everyone to close all the areas and leave at the same time, as opposed to cleaning your own area and leaving. It's bullshit, I'm always the first one out too >: (
I've never gotten in a yelling match (yet), but I do oftentimes throw non-breakable shit around and get mad at others... it's stress, college + work = bullshit.
I was just fired for one of those "no call, no shows." It gets me every time! I've smartened up after the fourth time being terminated for my laziness. From now on my application will specify my indifference for the morning shifts. 6 A.M is too early! That's why I quit going to school!
If one of my friends called me from their phones or something to get me to come into work, I would fucking EXPLODE!!! Straight up, I would yell at them so loud, then I would yell at my manager and be like "FUCK YOU MOTHER FUCKER!"
Well not really, but maybe if they wanna fuck around.
whats worse is they just had me work 4 hours. almost not worth even showing up for.
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
Tomorrow you go and bury your foot in your managers ass.Quote:

Once you have the day off the first rule is, dont show up at work for any reason, or answer the phone if they call you. If it's understood when you leave work the pervious day that another person is covering your shift the following day, they cant fire you for not answering the phone. All you have to say is i'm off today that guys covering my shift, if he fucks up, that's on him, not you.
