Ever worked for a company that claimed something like: The end of Nov, the entire month of Dec & the first week of Jan as blackout dates? Seems like a bs “rule” made up & repeated by the boss to discourage employees from requesting off during the holidays… I’m glad I canceled my trip to NYC earlier.

She sent one of her many ALL CAPS angry group texts bc someone tried to submit a R/O after she told us not to do that (she’s told us like 10 times since the month began.. idk the outcome of that persons request, but I’m curious to know if he/she exposed this dumbass “rule” as the authoritarian trick it seems to be.

I sympathize with certain ones, especially those w/ children. So yeah, that’s why I don’t “just quit if you’re not happy.” at least they are accommodating with my school schedule, & they pay surprisingly well for the industry.. first restaurant I ever worked at where the back of the house gets tipped. Not only that, they make significantly more than the front.
