Hi Comrades!
Okay so I work at a tourist destination that runs boatlines, pubs, and a few shops.
They've informed us that unless it's for bereavement or documented medical appointments we have to be available every day this summer.
That means no ability to plan your life, no summer sports, and literally zero chance that my days off will align with my friends.
It pays $17hr which is slightly above average around here and cost of living is low. I guess what I'm asking is do you think it's right/legal to blackout an entire chunk of the year from time off requests? Should I consider taking less money to find better employment?
The best part : They tell us not to worry because in the fall they will lay people off so they can go on EI, but they will still give you like 15hrs a week. “You'll have all the time in the world come labour day and you'll be making MORE money doing it “
I just think it's gross they steal a whole season from you and the only thing they can say about it is “oh don't worry. We don't steal all of them!”
