when i was originally hired, i really liked my store owner. paid me fairly, gave me good hours, gave me the days off i needed for college, gives us an extra $30 on each paycheck to help pay our phone bills, we have similar interests in music and audio engineering and we would talk after hours all the time. i’ve been there for 3 years and i’ve gotten 2 raises that, combined, gave me $2 on top of what i was originally making. he announced that the store was not performing as well as last year and that our hours would be cut as a result. i was thinking maybe 3-5 hours cut between all of us. my hours were cut from 35 a week to 30 to 27 all the way down to 20. only me and 2 of my other coworkers hours have been cut, meanwhile the other 3 employees are getting 40 hours a week no problem. i asked for more hours repeatedly and he said “i wish there was something i could do for you.” finding a new job that pays as well as this one has proven extremely more difficult than i thought. the only thing i’ve learned is that you should be more weary of a “good boss”
