5 hours...

[jigglypuff]

5 hours out of the entire week. Five. Who in hell works 5 hours out of the week?

I've been on-call from 1 - 6PM, but I never got called in and basically spent my entire day playing Ocarina of Time on the Virtual Console.

I've been so bored, but I couldn't plan anything. And I requested a schedule change so I could work Tues., Wed., Thurs., and Sat. I need to see how Mondays will be before I give the word, but I wanted Sundays and Fridays off.

Still. I understand that the holidays are over and hours were going to be cut, but I'm seriously irked by this. I'm almost tempted to quit and apply for Gamestop. But I love the atmosphere. I love the people I work with.

But I feel like a temp. I have yet to be put on register after almost 3 months. And, honestly, it doesn't feel worth working if I'm only going to have a paycheck this week of less than $40 after taxes.

As much I'd really not like to, I'm giving this job until the end of January. This is stupid.

What do you think, F-list? I really am at a loss.

I say give it another month. If they aren't giving you more hours, then you'll have to tell them you're going to have to find another job. Even if you are working part time, you should have at LEAST 10-15 hours a week. :/ If you aren't getting that, then there's no point in you staying, no matter how much you like the job.

Though... finding a job you like is also very difficult.

I'd really rather not have to carry two jobs with the next semester starting in the beginning of February. /8

But yeah, you're right. I don't get what's up with the huge hour cut. I guess I'd understand this a bit better if I was say...16, but that's not the case. I'm over 18 and there is certainly no problem with piling on more.

I can understand that, but at least you aren't 16 and having them pile more hours than you can handle? D: I've seen it happen. >>

But yeh two jobs plus school does not mix well D:

Good luck, sweetie <3

Ick, I've seen that, too. D:
Which is odd considering that they can't give them longer than 4 hour shifts.

Thanks, hun. I appreciate your thoughts. <3
