Pretty frustrated with my part-time job… is this normal?

So during the day I am a high school teacher. I took a front desk job at a recreation center because I am kind of an insomniac so it made sense to earn some extra money working evenings. I am thinking I work my shift tomorrow and then on Monday say I am done. My boss refuses to schedule me regularly. One week I may work Mon Wed Fri Sat, the other TU Thurs Sun Saturday. It makes it very hard to make plans and I have been wanting to play on a hockey team and this is impeding. When it rains, we close. But we only close on two hour intervals. So yesterday, I saw there was a 100 hundred percent chance of rain all day today. I still had to show up today and wait around even though it was pouring down rain. When we really could of…

Is desperation in a potential employer a red flag for you?

Ive been applying for new work in a different field, for a change of pace. I usually don’t have 100% of the experience they ask for, but I still send them my résumé, because why not? The worst they’ll say is no and I still have my current job. I applied for a few jobs this afternoon while I was having lunch, I checked my phone a while later and had a missed call from an unknown number, no voicemail, but a text message asking if I could call them back about my application to organise an interview.

Forced OT during from mid-November to the end of the Year

Fuck that. I don't give a flying rats ass if it's double or triple OT. I want to spend time with my family. I missed my oldest daughter's cheer competition because of this & my youngests first Christmas concert. So what did I do? Fucking logged in & pretended to be busy. Yes my peers suffered but they made the choice to work. Fuck this Canadian company for FORCING OT in Amy way, shape or form.

Working over Xmas Post, a good one

I see heaps of “no breaks over Xmas” post and I wanted to share mine. I work for a Company with 300,000 employees worldwide. Nothing special just a Rep. Every Xmas, the entire company worldwide shuts down for 2 weeks holidays. If your new, they STILL pay you the time. Not every employer is an asshole, there are some good ones left in this world
