Hello!! I’ve lurked here off and on. The subreddit is always recommended to me.
I’ve had no reason to post here. Until now.
TLDR; my job cuts my hours to part-time to save money making me not be able to pay all my bills.
I work at a plasma donation center making $15 an hour. 40 hours a week paid every two weeks. I often get disrespected by coworkers on power trips. Today I learned they are cutting my hours.
“Let me rephrase this ,due to cost and production all hourly staff hours will be reduced. I have no end date as of yet,these reduce hours will began tomorrow.” This was said after stating that our hours are 32.5 a week. If I’m not mistaken that part-time.
Then the center manager who makes on the high end $90k a year said this “Some hours is better than no hours, we can get like the other center in our region where they are closed 2 days out the week and are not even open 80 hours be thankful for the grace that our center has been shown. But I understand you may have to seek other avenues.” This pissed me off. I already love paycheck to paycheck. And I’m about to have a kid.
So my conclusion, we are getting punished for donors not eating correctly or smoking before they come in making themselves fail the vitals or other parts of the process. Or because they want to be unruly and get kicked out. That’s somehow my fault. Am I in the wrong for feeling this way? I digress.
I’ll take a medium fry and a coke to go, thanks.
