State of the Winnegan's employment.

[winneganfake]

Or rather the dismal things that bring about the lack thereof. Again.

Bastard Owner calls this morning and leaves a voicemail, wanting to know if I can come into work today. As in immediately. And he knows what the current nonexistent daycare situation is like.

I was out on the porch for the call, but by the time I come inside and finish listening to the voicemail, the phone is ringing again.

It's the Bastard Owner again. Wanting to know why I hadn't called him back yet, or just shown up for work yet.

My response: "I can't. I have no daycare for my daughter, and I'm the only one here with her. I can't bring her in, so what do you want me to do?"

Him: "I don't care, just get down here."

Me: (deep breath) No.

Him: What?

Me: A twenty minute rant on his lack of professionalism, his inability to listen to his employees, his inability to deliver a set schedule for work, and a few other things.

End result: He'll get his apron back a little later this week, and I'll be getting the check for the four hours I've worked around the same time. Pride is saying I should shove that check up his ass so far that you can read the routing number through his nostrils, but we need even that pittance of money too badly at this point.

I'm mostly done and over this already. Mostly. Just need to get a damn job and soon.

That guy's a douche.

Still, that sucks, man.

Yeah, yeah he is. I seem to be the shit magnet of employment these days, though. How do I keep attracting this stuff?

Ugh, asstastic.

He deserves a punchin'.

Part of me wants to understand where he's coming from. He's new to business, and here he is in the first month of running a cafe, and he doesn't yet realize that ANY new business will take a pretty solid loss in the first month, if not the entire first year.

That said though, he acts like a complete and utter asshat. Sympathy denied.

If he's going into business without doing enough research to know that businesses do *not* run in the black for quite some time, then he's even *more* of an asshat. Especially if he's, in effect, punishing his employees because they aren't meeting utterly unrealistic expectations.

Sounds like putting the energy into making some kind of formal complaint about his practices wouldn't be a bad idea.

I would, except that'd be time I could use to work towards something that will hopefully earn income. Besides, at the rate he's going, the cafe will be shut before the year's out. That's satisfaction enough.

I'm proud of you.
