Dealing with an unfair boss?

I'm only working one day a week at work and my boss won't give me more days. Every time I talk to her about it she gives me dumb excuses why she can't. Let me give you the rundown so you can know exactly what I'm talking about.
This all started 6 months ago. On 1-1-10 we had a... I don't know what to call it so let me tell you what happened. It was the end of the night and I was the first person up front and i was waiting for everyone to come so we could leave. So I waiting til the last minute to clock out. (I wanted to get as much time as I could. So she saw me standing up there and asked me why I didn't clock out yet. I said I was waiting for you. Then she said something and I got a little attitude. Then she said when you get finished, clock out. Then she called me a dumb ***. The next day when I came to work she told me I could go back home. That what she does when someone don't do what they supposed to do. She gives them less days. Anyway, she kept on giving me one day a week for the next few weeks so I finally asked for her for another day and she said sure. I was all happy and everything but when I looked at the schedule it said the same thing. So the day after the next day I went up to my job to see what was going on. In a nutshell this is how the convo went.
Me: I thought you were going to give me more than one day.
Her: I was but the payroll was cut down. The store is slow and we're not making enough money.
I asked her about the other coworker which was new at the time who was getting 3 or 4 days a week. She said she was training her to be an assistant manager and that she schedule the days based on the needs of the store. And since I'm just a stocking/cleanup person I get one day. She also said the store should pick up next month (February) So that was that, I had nothing else to say after that.
I noticed that two other people, who do the same thing I do, was getting 3 days but I was getting one. Anyway I talked to her about getting another day and she said she got me down for tomorrow. I asked her if it was temporary and she said no. And once again later that night i looked at the schedule and it said the same thing. I couldn't talk to her about it then cuz she already had left. So when I came back to work I asked why I didn't work when she said I would she gave irrelevant reasons and said I would get another day soon. To make a very long story short, its been two weeks since then and things are the same. One person got fired and she gave one of the workers who was getting 3 days one less day, but she still didn't give me another day. I even gave her a suggestion and said how about giving someone one less day and giving it to me. She gave someone one less day and still didn't give me another day. Why is she torturing me like this? I know u don't have the answer to that but this is what I ask myself all the time. Does she not like me? She don't act like it but... I don't know. I just wanted to share my problem with others and maybe get some suggestions. I've tried to get another job but I went on some interviews and didnt get hired.

You boss is being passive aggressive with you, she can easily adjust the schedule that you share with others but you two got off on the wrong foot, you bit the hand that feeds you, and now your boss doesn't like you. It was not smart to catch an attitude with someone who is in a position to give you more or less hours, but it was also immature for her to call you a dumb***. You only have two choices in my opinion, keep looking (hard) for another job or ask her if she's got a minute to talk to you, then apologize for your attitude and explain that the clocking out incident was an innocent mistake and it will never happen again. Tell her she will see from your job performance that you want to make it up to her, and however it works out, don't ever give your boss attitude again, even if you don't like what she does or says. You will never win in a situation like that, as you can see. Good luck, I hope this situation can be resolved. |

ALL retail, customer service and restaurants schedule based on sales.... the reason she gave you was correct and honest, the way you have approached this, your obvious young age and lack of maturity as well as your attitude (that you admit you showed) are the reasons you are going to be the last person to get more hours....this has NOTHING to do with whether or not you are "liked" by the manager, these are business decisions, and the fact is whenever you have the least number of employees scheduled is when you want your absolute best to be the ones......
when you are scheduled you need to do your job to the best of your ability, leave the attitude at home, continue to show that you want more hours, continue to communicate with your managers and be sure if they need extra help and ask you to work that you agree........ |
