Totally Unfair
Well today I again went to work.. No surprise on that one but something different happened today. It’s not big difference but you know something to blog about I suppose. I start at 10 am and as I was going to work, I notice that the store is still close. I wasnt suppose to open the store today because someone else was suppose to come in earlier and do that at 9 am. The mall opens at 10 and I get in at 10 so basically all the stores except for our store was closed. So instead of opening it, I get my breakfast. I didnt care whether I came in 5 minutes late or opened the store 5 minutes late because I feel that I really deserve breakfast, dammit! :snooty (thats my snobby look lol). Anyway this girl that was suppose to come in to open is usually late when but she was suppose to come in at 9 and its now 10.. So I knew that something is up. Then 11 am came and I had to call her. I called but no one was answering. I thought that maybe she forgot that she’s working and her and her bf went out somewhere. Then I called her again then after 5 or 6 rings she answers. She said that she’s coming soon. So 11:20 came and she arrives. I look at her and notice that she’s been crying. She didnt tell me what happened and clearly she didnt want to tell me but you know what I was a little angry. I thought that the reason is probably personal like a death of a family or something but seriously, if youre going to be over 2 hours late, call me so that I know when youre coming. She told me that she didnt get any sleep until early in the morning then hr alarm clock broke or some shit like that but I didnt buy that. The worse thing is she’s still getting paid 8 hours instead of 6!!!:angryfire That is so unfair that I wanted to tell her that you cant do that and its unfair. Remember today is a holiday for us so she gets paid even more that shes working on a holiday. I just found it so unfair thats all. Whatever her issues are I suggest forgetting about it when going to work. I was so glad of leaving that place once i was done. It’s the holiday, who works on a holiday??? Apparently, I do. :slant
Ugh, that IS unfair. You know what, I understand if you have personal problems, but you call and let people know if you won’t be in to open like you’re supposed to. And then you get paid for 2 hours you weren’t in work?! I would have a serious problem with that
that does seem unfair that she gets paid for more than she actually worked. at least you got your breakfast!![]()
Yeah it really is unfair but I bet if she told someone what happened you would’ve got introuble since I am sure she’d twist the story somehow. It happened to my friend.. so it could happen to you. I guess in the end its better not to say anything about it but can’t they like see she was not there from cameras?
I hate working. *blah* But at least you are getting money! Still… that really is unfair that that other girl got paid for 8 hours. Does the manager know? Maybe you should tell him/her!
Wow, that’s really unfair. I wouldn’t be very hapy if someone only worked 6 hours, and got paid for 8. I would have a serious issue with that.![]()
I’ve had that at work too… I get in on time, work my ass off to cover this girl who is never there on time, and when she gets there, she whines that nobody logged her computer on so people think she was there on time.
On top of that, she puts down that she got there on time and gets paid for the time she missed too. I sometimes think I should get the damn money she takes home cuz I have to work doubly fast to cover her ass… and I work holidays, weekends and all the inbetween too… so I feel your pain!
I agree with leaving your problems at home when at work. Customers can tell when the employees are aggrivated, annoyed or just not paying attention. You should talk to your boss if she is consistantly late. I hope nothing bad happened though.
I would be so pissed too ! It’s really unfair that she gets paid for 8 hours instead of six ! xoxo
