Dissappointed

After going to bed late, you think you'll still be able to get the full 8 hours of rest needed to survive, but then your phone starts ringing. You don't answer it the first time cause you think that person might get the hint that you're not available. 5 minutes later of what thought to be ever lasting peace, the phone rings. Again. So you pick it up realizing that sleep as of this point is not an option.
10 minutes go by when you finally realize something more important. PAY DAY!!! As soon as you get off the phone you rush to your computer, and you log into your bank account. From what started off you looking like a kid desperate for candy, turned into nothing but a huge dissappointment. $36 dollars was put into your account from your job. At this point you wanna scream WTF!!
What I don't understand about jobs nowadays is that when they first hire you, they have all the hours in the world, but isn't it odd that after a couple of months of pure sweat, and having to soak your feet in hot water for hours, your hours begin to drop dramatically. You take one week off for vacation, and your job suddenly begins to think you can't handle alot of hours.
In these times, one can't survive with $250 bucks every 2 weeks, so what in the world is $36 bucks gonna get you??
A little advice to all those looking for work. MAKE SURE the job will give you sufficient hours. Anything below $350 every 2 weeks is UNACCEPTABLE. If anything it's even selfish. You're putting your time, hard work of pure blood and sweat into trying to make your job look good, while they can scam you on your hours. It's time for employees to take a stand. Let them know your a hard working employee, and without you, their stat numbers would be alot lower then it is now.
Here's advice to all those jobs looking to hire a position. Make sure you can afford to hire someone, before deciding to put a "HELP WANTED" sign on your front step. If you already have more then 20 different employees working practically the same shift, then why keep hiring someone. You have more then enough people helping you out on one position that if you have extra hours, give it to someone that needs it the most.
