YAWP: (Work Problem)

[Gamingphreek]

Continued from this thread.

Well im in another predicament, and i have asked my parents and they are not sure anymore. But they think i should still work my shift.

I got mad. And by getting mad; to get my point across i wrote a note at the bottom of an availability sheet, made 20 copies, turned 10 copies into the manager and kept the other 10 in case she loses the first 10 (which isn't as improbably as you might think). In the note, i was very professional, and very respectful, yet direct with my point that i refuse to flex my hours and blow off my prior commitments any longer.

So first off, i am scheduled tomorrow despite all of this. I have talked with the GM 5 different times, i have turned in 6 (+10) of the same availability sheet. I have talked with that manager. Nonw i am out of options. I have a commitment tomorrow, but it is rearrangeable. I am one of those people who, unless pushed beyond the breaking point, cannot be openly rude and disobedient. So the strongest statement i can make is to simply call out tomorrow. What do you think i should do here?

Next off, next week is Christmas week. The same oblivious Personnel Manager came to me and asked me if i was going to open up my availability. I said, "Ill try and see what i can do and then ill get back to you ASAP". Now in my head i was thinking, like hell am i bending at all until she can show me that she can abide by my current availability set.

Furthermore, i said that, under no circumstances, can i close Christmas eve. I said i would like either an early shift or, if that isn't enough, schedule me from open (7:00) to 4:00PM. But i would not be available to close (6:00) that day. (I am singing in the 5:30 church service and need time to go home, shower, get changed and drive to church)

So i go in there today, and lo and behold, not only do i work from 10:00AM-6:30PM on X-Mas eve, but i am also working 35 other hours that week, only 2 of which are even remotely close to my availability set.

Is there something else i can be doing here? Am i being too nice?

Im seriously considering drafting my 2 weeks notice and turning it in on Christmas eve.

I think this is true also. They're forcing you out.

Quit and be done with it. They don't give a crap about you, so you shouldn't be so worked up about this.

Well if that is true, then only 3 managers want it. Too bad all of them are upper management. My CSM too me aside and said that i am an awesome employee and i do a great job. He said that they dont want me to quit, but just open my availability a little more, so i did (3 more hours on the 2 days i am available).

Not only that all the FLS (Front Line Supervisors) and coworkers like me and appreciate my dedication. It is only a few select managers that are making my career a living hell.

The only thing keeping me from quitting is money. Next year i go off to college. I NEED money for that, and right now i dont have enough.

Additionally, i WILL NOT just outright quit. If i quit i am putting in a 2 weeks notice. Im not going to risk screwing up my other future jobs by walking out on BJ's.

what the co-workers and lower level management think of you is of no importance to upper management.

they want ppl that they can own and control and the will resent ppl who do not conform you their power.



seriously, you need to find another job.
Good Luck.

Mid Management (except the Personnel) appreciates me too.

So do you guys think it would make a stronger point if i went in tomorrow and spoke directly to the GM and said, this WILL NOT happen again, and i WILL NOT work on the days that aren't on my availability next week.

Im thinking that would be the best way, but i dont know how to say that. Like i said I CANNOT be rude, i swear i try REALLY hard, but i cant just be rude to someones face.

Just tell the GM straight out: I'm not available on these days. If u could get another person on that shift for me thank you. If not, well here's my 2 weeks notice of resignation. If they kick u out, u cant do nothing about it.

put all of your cash in a safety deposit box a few months before you do your fafsa's. You'll get more money. You'll also get more money if you don't work the year before. Try to get a job waiting tables or something. You'll make more, but you'll have to work weekends.

Definately talk to the GM. if things don;t turn out wel. Just hand in your 2 weeks. They won't can you until after new years since its really busy now.
