Antiwork

So to start off I've worked in the service industry for over 10 years, I've worked at celebrity chef restaurants, Forbes 5 star resorts and basically have a lot of experience. I got hired as a Server at a restaurant in the new town I moved to. After a few days of training they said because they were super busy they were going to use me as a server assistant for a month or so because they were really busy and “didn't want to throw me to the wolves” I would have turned it down, but I asked the pay difference and I was told that it's no difference and I would be paid the same as a server regardless of what tasks I'm performing. So I said okay, as long as I'm making the same that's fine. Well, yesterday after 2 weeks working there they told me that actually…

I requested today (Valentines Day) off months ago, before Christmas even. 2 weeks ago my boss came to me and said even though my time off was approved, I’ll have to work because his partner got them Dua Lipa concert tickets. This is the third Valentines Day I’ve spent with this company, and I’ve had to work every single one, despite requesting each one off. Fuck this, my girlfriend deserves better than this and I don’t even know where to go from here. Oh yeah, my boss told me last week he might not even go to the concert. Anyway, I hope everyone had a good Valentines, I just needed to vent.
