thejunipertreeEvery time I start to think that the Skesis is beginning to be kind of human, she reminds me that I shouldn't ever let my guard down.
I emailed my upcoming class schedule today, detailing when I'm going to be in the office during the week and including a note that any hours after that I need to make it back to my 50 hours a week will be made up at the weekend. This is how I've always done it.
My proposed schedule:
Monday- 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Tuesday- 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Wednesday- 10:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Thursday- 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Friday- 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
= 41.5 hours
with 8.5 hours worked over the weekend
Now, apparently, that just doesn't fly. If I plan to work 50 hours a week, then it needs to be a scheduled 50 hours a week. Which. Fucking. Sucks. I don't always go in during the weekend, sometimes I'm just too fucking tired to do it. Sometimes I'm unable to do it because of things going on at home. And sometimes, I do go in, but I don't stay for an entire day.
If I don't want to commit to a Saturday schedule, then I constantly have to be approved every week to work on Saturday. And going in that particular direction makes me wary. I don't want it to come around on a Friday and have me get told "no can do" when I say I'm going to be working that weekend. It's bad enough when they pull the "even though we hired you all as having 50 hour wages, we need to drop you down to 40 hours" bullshit.
Additionally, I can't stay at 41.5 hours because of how badly it changes my paycheck. Those OT hours really carry me and I desperately need it to keep my head above the waterline.
I hate this place so fucking bad sometimes. Like now. But, my hands are totally tied with having to stay. No other company that I can think of would even begin to let me play with my hours every semester for school. Not only that, but most companies would be loathe to hire me purely because I'm in school and that automatically equals "not staying here for the rest of her life".
Fuck this noise.
I'm going outside for a cigarette.
