Well, if you're the last one to leave, you might get the time from other people's shifts. OTOH, management should have let you know that this was coming.
We knew that things would get slow after Christmas, but even Trissene was shocked at *how* slow it was.
Hopefully it will pick up again, but I'm going to start the poking around. At least this time it isn't the "I have tio get a job as we are starving" state I was in last time.
And the managers know to call me if anyone calls in sick.
"Welcome to the wonderful world of retail, Doug," she says ironically. Dale (a grocery clerk for the last twenty-fucking-four-and-a-goddam-half years) likewise sends sympathy.
I understand that it gets slower after the holidays but Jeez, if they needed to lay off 2-3 more people so the rest could have 25 hours, then they should do it! What the sense of bringing everyone down to 5 hours???
Anyway, I'm sending massive waves of writing waves while you've got some time off...
At a guess, they expect the business to pick up more in a month or so, and then they'd need them all.
Then again, given the preference to *avoid* full time workers so as to cut down on the expense of providing benefits, who knows what they are thinking.
