I’m so done with this job. I’ve worked here for years and have never had trouble getting hours. I usually have problems getting too many hours, being that I’m a college student and need time to study. I took two months off after I had a surgery and I just can’t get any hours now. They schedule me 12-15 hours a week, and now that I’m running out of the money I had saved for my time off I can barely pay my rent, let alone eat anything other than ramen (and Burger King. It’s not free but I steal lol).
I can’t go a day without someone texting me and asking me to come in because we’re short staffed. I’m usually in class or doing other things (because it’s, you know, my day off) but sometimes I’m glad to pick up hours. My scheduler tells me it’s because they’re “not allowed” to schedule “too many” hours to save money. I said you’re obviously not scheduling too many hours if you never have enough people to work.
Today I took my dog to the park for a little bit and decided to head to BK to look at next weeks schedule. I left my dog in the car for a couple minutes to go inside. My “boss” (a meth-head, self proclaimed “ex-pedophile”) practically begged me to clock in. I said I’m not in uniform and my dog is in the car. He told me I could just leave the dog in the car with the windows cracked since it’s such a nice day out today! I laughed and made a burger and left. I am putting in my two weeks.
