Title says it for my TLDR people.
I was hired by a property management company to be the groundskeeper for an apartment complex, the apartment complex I am also a tenant of… I should note I was hired part time at 30 hours per week, and given the opportunity to work as an umpire at the local baseball league in town in the evenings… seemed like a great gig working from home basically not having a daily commute.
My initial manager had made it clear that my job was to take care of the property, that being exterior work, and that was it.
For example, pick up garbage, power wash sidewalks, basic landscaping, etc.
Well the hiring manager left the company, and I got a whole now regime.
The new manager is a huge bitch… she has treated me like shit from the jump, basically telling me that I was useless and that I would be doing exactly as she tells me to do, or I would be replaced.
So as I said, I was hired as groundskeeper… but now this manager is forcing me to do the maintenance work as well, which is an entirely different position with different title and pay scale.
I have begged for more hours or pay, but she tells me I have to prove myself worthy of the position before I get compensated… which will never happen.
Not only that, but she is lazy and leaves early often and will tell me I have to be available in the evenings to work with contractors in her absence, which prevents me from being able to work another job… and the extra time I work is only like 30 minutes or an hour, which sometimes I don’t get get paid for.
She lies and says anything over 30 hours is full time, which I’m positive is bullshit.
I just don’t know what to do anymore… I’m not making enough money to survive, and if I quit, I get evicted… something that wasn’t disclosed upon hiring because they were desperate to fill the position.
Do I contact HR? Do I ask the regional manager for more hours? I deserve to be full time and paid more for the work I am doing.
Any advice would be appreciated.
