That's what I feel like I've been through this week. Get this:
I already told the story of how I woke up one day decided to get a job and got a job that day but, the plot thickens on that story. Those people told me that they would give me 4 night shifts in a row (basically 40 hours) but I had to wait a week for those shifts. 3 days ago the kitchen manager texts me my schedule and there is a whopping 9 hours on it spread out over 3 days. 5-8 wed thru fri. I tripped the fuck out! (Today is that first Wednesday). I contacted the KM and asked what's going on with my schedule. He said that he was going to get me my full hours the following week. The rest of the convo went like this.
me: "You're playing with my time and money, bro. You told me 4 days with full hours and made me wait a week to get them, now you're trying to make me wait another week."
him: "Don't you know it's about to be slow around here. Plus I have other people that have been with me for a long time, I'm not about to cut their hours for someone I don't even know."
me: "None of this is what you were telling me before. You told me 4 full night shifts and I want my damn hours."
him: "You can move on if you like."
me: "I never said anything about that. I'm telling you I want the shifts that you told me you would give me. Man up and do what you said you were going to do."
him: "Do you want to work or not?"
me: "Yeah I want to work! That's what this all about."
him: "Then the schedule I sent you is the schedule for this week."
me: "OK"
Now, I know not one single person here that's been paying attention to me believes that "OK" means that I was going to settle for this bullshit.
All this happened on Sunday.
10 minutes before I started writing this post I was hired at an even better job than the one I was promised at The Boot. This new job is starting me at an even higher rate of pay (7am tomorrow) and I've already been told that they just want to make sure I'm as good as I say I am before I get a raise and move to management. I asked and the estimated time on this is 30 days, could be less. The dude said something that impressed me because it's something I would do. He said "It shouldn't take you 30 days to prove to me you can run my business." That's the words of a man that isn't fucking around. Those words are an awful lot like my words to the people I hired when I had my paint company "If you aren't worth at least 15$ an hour, I can't even use you."
In 4 hours I'm supposed to be at The Boot. I owe these people nothing and have no intention of even calling them. However if they call me I am definitely going to answer the phone and it's going to go like this
"Michael, this is Cutty at The Boot. You know you are supposed to be here right now."
"I told you I want to work but you don't have any work. Ohhh I see, you thought I was saying I want to work for you. Yeah, my bad, bruh. I was actually saying I'm gonna work and fuck you. I'm sorry I didn't make that clearer."
lol
Totally irrelevant trivia question:
Where did The Boot get it's name from?
This is a question that can be answered by anyone in the wold without having any knowledge of history and without needing any "inside info" about my state or city. I will also say that The Boot is not a country bar.
