Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 They've called me 4 times this weekend. They called me Saturday night to come in Sunday (my off day) for first shift, then for second shift, then for third shift, and just now they called me to come in for first shift tomorrow morning (well technically later today). Fuck that shit I prefer to enjoy my off days.
Satou Kazuma Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 You need a new job then. Something that isn't too demanding of mandatory overtime.
new_disease Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 go long enough to make money for ice cream then leave early and buy ice cream
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 You need a new job then. Something that isn't too demanding of mandatory overtime. They can't mandate me from home. When they call me on my off day it's just for voluntary overtime there's no penalty if I don't pick up the phone. Just means someone who's on the clock at the time is going to get mandated into a double. I'm starting to learn the patterns of when I will get mandated, so I can be prepared. And I can usually go in early if I don't want to get mandated that day. Extra hours just means more $$$$. I usually end up with like 50-60 hours a week which is a good balance between $$$ and still being able to get enough sleep and free time to avoid insanity.

Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 What happened to more money and more monies I'm willing to go in early and even pull the occasional double if it's on a day I'm scheduled to work. But off days should remain just that.

Why don't they hire enough people to cover shifts?
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 What do you need off days for? Sleeping. And not being around clients all day.
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 Why don't they hire enough people to cover shifts? Well first you have to find enough people willing to do the work. That's a tough one and is part of the reason why the pay is so good compared to similar jobs at other places. We have a lot of clients so we need a lot of people. Then when you find people willing to do the work, you have to find ones that won't fuck up by doing things that you obviously shouldn't do like abusing clients or failing to report abuse which are apparently things that happen on a not-too-infrequent basis. Apparently there was an incident like right before I started that got like 5 people fired. And when you just start you're considered temporary and don't have all the protections of the union so you may see someone who's been there 20 years doing something and think it's okay when it's not. Thanks to the union they get a slap on the wrist but you get fired. They've been hiring tons of people and have some people coming over in June/July from another facility an hour away that's closing. It's starting to get better with the overtime, but the problem is that 3rd shift has the least coverage right now, and since I'm on 2nd shift I'm one of the ones that has to work 3rd when they don't have the people.

Hey if you need someone around to abuse the abusers I can do it. I'll bitchslap someone for abusing a client.
new_disease Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 What kind of ice cream and for how many people because if it's just me going to like Dairy Queen or something I could earn a large blizzard in like 20 minutes. I've never seen a Dairy Queen where I live so don't know about there's. How about, Ben and Jerry's. thats the only brand I can think of. and, a lot of it. Enough for you to eat a bunch on a day you don't do anything, to the point where you begin to hate the ice cream, but you keep eating it because it's tasty
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 Hey if you need someone around to abuse the abusers I can do it. I'll bitchslap someone for abusing a client. Sounds good

Enough for you to eat a bunch on a day you don't do anything, to the point where you begin to hate the ice cream, but you keep eating it because it's tasty It would depend on the flavor and how I was feeling on that day but I could probably only get through like a pint or two of Ben & Jerry's before I started to feel sick.
Codename: Jackass Posted May 22, 2017 Posted May 22, 2017 Sounds good Alright good. When can I expect my interview?
Swimmod_Luna Posted May 22, 2017 Author Posted May 22, 2017 Alright good. When can I expect my interview? No need to interview u can start tomorrow.
