For background, I work at an emergency homeless shelter; manager just sent this out to all staff (not only the overnight staff) to ask for help with emergency shelter coverage…. how can I resist this bribe??? AMAZING, now that I know I get an extra $1 an hour, I change my mind- I’m now THRILLED to work a last minute, 12-hour overnight shift at an emergency shelter !!! I would love to work an extra shift this week for an extra $12! ……. I really cannot believe they think this is enough compensation for the amount of work, risk, and responsibility it takes to run a homeless shelter in a city with one of the highest crime rates in the country. Let alone an extra shift that is outside of your normal hours. Sigh.
