I work at a popular college bar. I recently got “promoted” to night manager. I was supposed to close 1 night a week (2am) and then work 3 to 11 the rest of the week.
A toxic staff member was fired and I was scheduled his closing day. No big deal but they never hired a replacement and the staff is worn thin.
The employee who was closing 4 nights a week quit with no notice and that left a big hole in the schedule. They tried to get me to cover on my days off but I declined.
Now they are looking for a new staff member and have scheduled me to close 5 days a week as to train them. I'm worried they'll try to get me to work that schedule permanently and drag their feet hiring someone.
If that happens I will be on the opposite schedule as my partner and will only see them 2 days a week with only one overlapping day off. I'm not in dire need of employment and am considering taking my talents elsewhere.
What scenario should be the breaking point? I'm leaning toward if they don't have a suitable replacement hired by Sunday.
