Well...

THAT is an interesting story.

When I was hired by my current company, it was under the assumption it was full time. About 2 hours after I got the job, I was told there was a mix up, but not to worry cuz I would get 64 hours a paycheck (2 wks). So I wasn't too worried.

MBE noticed that they cut me down from 8 days to 7.

That may not seem much on the scheme of things, but, my ins costs me approximately $250/mo. Therefore, approximately 1 day a week, I worked for free. Well, for my ins.

My ADON insisted I requested a couple of days off, when I did not. I get every other weekend off. And she put me in for days off before that.

Thus, a week vacation that I didn't want.

When the ADON was asked about this, because I was not the only one (one of my coworkers received at least 10 days off), we (part-timers) were told "we have to fit you in where we can around full-timers."

We have 3 full-timers. We have 6 part-timers.

We're short staffed most days.

Yet they cut hours.
