So my hours may be getting cut at work

I had a job years ago where the manager would give me inconsistent hours. So one week I'd have 39 hours (cause we can't give you 40!) and then the next week I'd have 8 hours. After a few weeks of that, I put in my two weeks notice.

 

I'm usually scheduled for like, 35 hours per week I think but can get a ton of overtime. They even encourage part-time people to make up the time so they can have at least 40. The overtime has been letting up which is alright even though I do like the extra money (I just don't like the mandatory overtime I'll be glad for that to stop). But someone several levels above me in paygrade is just tripping with this new scheduling if they're gonna cut hours like that.

Well good right catch up on some things work a normal shift or so

 

I can't afford to have my hours cut THAT much :| I could probably deal with just the same number of days I have now and no OT, but if they try to cut me down to 10 days in a month I'm using that extra time off to find a new job.

I don't know if I could ever be that far above people in my company and treat them like that. But at the same time, there's hopefully some reason for stuff like this. On the flipside, I'm privy to the fact that a lot of these hour cuts are to line the pockets of higher ups and their bonuses, which they have control over. Wish I had some say in my own bonus.

They don't give a fuck about you.

 

If your hours don't get cut it's only due to luck.

 

Burn the HR dept to the ground

 

Oh I know. People who have been there longer than me got their hours cut.

 

I think this is above even HR's paygrade, it's the new guy we have running the place :|

The reason is $$$. I saw a memo that basically said there's too much OT. Apparently there's a standard for facilities like ours and how much OT we should have and we were going way over that. Although they're still bringing in tons of new staff.
