I volunteered to pick up an extra partial shift at work tonight, 8 hours instead of a full 12. Because they had a bunch of open slots and we'll I could use the money.
I get called tonight and get told I'm going on standby and they will let me know if they need me. $1 an hour, that's the standby rate. They don't give the option to just have my night back and not work at all.
So I'm stuck not able to enjoy my night and they give an insulting amount of cash to be able to force you to come in.
I have 60 minutes from getting the call to clock in. I need 10 minutes to dress and 10 minutes to drive in. So I just need to figure out what to do for 39 minutes to kill time I guess.
