I QUIT!!!!
ok not really but i wish i did, i wish i could. i work at a theater in case you didnt already know and after 1 year and 4 months my job is driving me crazy. when i was hired minimum wage was 5.85 and i was making 6.50, then minimum wage went up to 6.55 and they said they would make up the difference and we would be making 7.20, so guess what i make? 7.20? no that would make sense, i make 6.55. but the shift leaders who previously made 7.00 got to keep that wage for a while then later got raises to 7.25. while the rest of us got minimum wage. plus none of the shift leaders have been there as long as me and one of them has no idea what he is doing. one knows what to do but doesnt and the other is actually good at it. working in box office is kinda like a mini promotion there is no raise but there is a certain amount of importance to it so only certain people get to be trained to work in there. so when they were looking to train more people to put in there they asked all the shift leaders who they would pick. all four of the shift leaders at the time included me, so did i get it? nope. plus the scheduling manager cant keep track of my three simple requests: no sundays, no wednesdays and no opening on saturdays. I have been opening almost every saturday since i made that request and have been scheduled several wednesdays and a couple sundays, really? the worst part though is when i get scheduled to close on a friday night and open on a saturday morning. while there is usually a gap of 9.5-10 hours between those shifts it takes me an hour after i get home to wind down, and i have trouble sleeping so it takes anywhere from 1-3 hours for me to fall asleep which leaves me at the most 7 hours to actually sleep before i have to get up and get ready again. and during a school week that just doesnt cut it for weekend recouperation. so basically if i dont get the shift leader position this time around im gonna start looking for a new job where after nearly a year and a half i wouldnt be working in the same area everyday for minimum wage getting bossed around by people who have been there half as long as me. just had to vent. and since i have to open tomorrow i better go to bed so i can maybe get those 7 hours!!
