Hey everyone, started working here 3 months ago and didn’t know we worked xmas. They do not pay me enough in general (not even close) and especially not to be away from my family on xmas and they fuck is over since we’re overnight by only paying us holiday pay until 12 pm (6 hours) and then the other 7 are normal pay since it’s “not the holiday anymore” so it’s not worth it to me. I haven’t been here a year and they conveniently don’t include the vacation terms on the rule book so I don’t know if I have any. Thinking about going the medical route and saying I need just the hours of my shift off so I will not be required (by their rules) to provide medical documentation. Also employees are only permitted 2 call offs per 90 days or subject to termination, I haven’t been here long enough to know how strict they are but they said they do random drug tests and I haven’t gotten one yet. If that means anything.
If you could read the employee book you’d lose your mind at the lengths they go to make sure they can fire you at the drop of a hat. it’s what made me join this subreddit.
TLDR I’m not getting paid enough to sacrifice my time with my family for work and I am requesting your help to beat their system.
