Antiwork

No problem! I’m not tired having worked for the past 18 hours, and coming in for open…

In college worked two jobs. One was Big Box concentric red circles (the old store) that was closing. Not much staff, and I worked 6-2:30. Soooo tired, so I’d take a nap from when I got home, to 4 or so when I’d get ready for job 2, a blue logo store, starts with G and has a Pantone value of 655. Shift starts at 5 and goes until 10, 1hr after closing. Tried to leave on time, but was told I was part of floorset team. Uhhh, what? Schedule says 10. No, thanks. I’ve been working since 6am, and I’m supposed to open (on a holiday) at 10 tomorrow. I’m going home. Nope! Apparently that’s ‘not allowed’. Young, naïve me keeps going, almost passes out at 1am, and is FINALLY allowed to leave. At least it’s 8 hours between shifts? So legally, all is OK, I guess. At least…

Too bad the AM manager is the hiring/HR manager and wants to know why I’m so p*ssed. Usually such a happy face! Thanks for the warning? I hardly got sleep.

Turns out, I WASN’T supposed to stay. The the manager had a power trip. Oops. Sorry you got in trouble, birch . Maybe don’t keep people hours late, lol.

TL;DR if your schedule says to work until a certain time, that means you work until a certain time. Especially if you have already worked a full-time day.
