I can't believe I forgot to post this! With 4 days until Christmas...UPDATE- SEE BELOW!

Original post by hmpena

On Tuesday I went to my p/t job that I have been wanting to quit. I kept saying that I would give my notice after the HM. Well, I went in on Tuesday and was told that I would be laid off since they no longer needed 3 supervisors!

Needless to say I had mixed emotions. FH is thrilled because I have been somewhat reluctant to leave even though I needed to. However, I have accrued 38 hours of comp time that the agency will not pay me for and my director is giving me a hard time about taking the comp time! It isn't bad enough that you lay me off 4 days before Christmas and 3 weeks before my wedding! Now you don't want to give me my time and make me work a holiday? In my p/t job, everyone must work either Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, or New Year's Day. Working these days gives you comp time, since the rest of the agency is closed. She wants me to work New Year's Day for nothing- which I REFUSE to do, unless the agency pays me DOUBLE TIME like it should. We're short staffed that day but it's not MY problem- it's HERS! I wrote out a list of all my time yesterday (and even gave her the schedule so she could check my time) and informed her that because of all the time I have accrued, my last working day will be 12/27. I tried to call her before to discuss, but she was out of the office and I don't want her to 'slip out' before I call.

Some people!

OK, rant over.

Thanks ladies!!! Tonight is my second to last shift!!! I am so excited to finally be out of this place and cut ties with everyone there. It's been nothing but drama and I am tired of it.

2006 is going to be a great year!

I lost my Target job, and then my home care job decided not to pay me one week. I flipped at them, they try to tell me they would give me my money next week (combinded with my other check taking more taxes out!) I told no way in hell, give me my money! They cut me a check the next day! But after that I decided I no longer wanted to work for them. I started my own business and I never looked back. Its the best feeling in the world, and I refuse to go back to any job were I'm mistreated.
This could be the best thing that ever happened to you. Don't get down because its so close to the holidays, consider it a new begining. I've never been so happy since I started working for myself and I don't plan on ever working for someone else, if that can be avoided!
