tarmachanRemember that rant from last week about how I hate my workplace?
Let's roll back a little to last week, when I got a call from the manager guy saying that he's let me know "later in the week" (this was mid-week) what hours I'd have because he was shifting the rota around. The weekend came. He never called. I was down for a shift tonight, so I assumed that it was business as usual. I turned up for the shift half an hour ago. Yep, I'm not down for it. The worst part, was that manager guy seems to have retconned HIS OWN MEMORY because he said that he's "left me a message on my answerphone" (I call bullshit) about how I didn't have to come in. When I said about the weekend thing, and how I'd assumed I'd be in since he didn't call, he said I "shouldn't have assumed" in a cheery manner. What the hell was I supposed to think, you idiot?! And if he was referring to the phone call, he could've at least used more specific words and said "since I'm swapping round the rota you're not in next Wednesday"- something like that would've been immensely helpful. Luckily I got a lift to work, in this horrible chilly weather, but I still had to call my mum to turn around and come back again (I can't afford my own car, and no way in hell am I walking to/from work in the dark).
Do you know what the worst part is though?
They've only gone and not put me down for any shifts for at least the next three weeks. Which means that I miss all of the Christmas weekend working, as far as I know. They're paying double then.
In fact, my manager[douchebag]guy was all like "oh, I'll call you when I need you". FOR SERIOUS?
All of this is because his already trained previous girls are coming back from uni during the Xmas hols and they want to work. So they've pretty much already quit a while back, and now they're back stealing my hours.
I should also point out that, since I'm not on any sort of contract (hell it's probably completely off the books for all I know), I don't really get a say. I will point out that I'm not even the type of person who usually complains about things- I just get on with my life. That's how much this has annoyed me. Sorry to keep spamming you with rantage.
Ah well, at least this gives me more time to look for another job...
