I'd like to relate something that has been happening for the past couple of weeks- it's really starting to bother me.

I've been employed by "X" for about 3 weeks now. It's a resturant, that's all I'm going to say. So, the first week I got sched. for 3 days, okay fine- I'm new, whatever. I work day 1, everything goes fine. I'm basicly bussing tables b/c this is a Mom & Pop place in a town that "Don't trust outsiders". (Even though my family owned a resturant and I've worked in several here in FL in the 6 yrs I've been here.) My 2nd chance to work comes up. I get a call the night before saying they are slow and I don't need to come in the next day. Okay, the first time was fine b/c my b/f was in town and I haven't seen him in a month - the 3rd time it happens I start to get hissed. What they are doing is actually giving the hours to their family rather than letting everyone have a turn at making money! Sooooo, they call me to let me know I should be to work on day "x" at "x o'clock". I show up and they send me home b/c they told me the wrong time and instead of calling me to see where I'm at they called someone in to replace me. &%$#@!?! The same thing happend this AM. I had the sched. written down, I get there and they say "Ohhhh, we put the NEW sched. on thiiiiis paper......you were supposed to be here YESTERDAY!" I have had it! I am so frustrated with these people but even if I can only work 1 day a week that's better than nothing - and I am still searching for a job, don't get me wrong. If I have to work for these people much longer I may have a nervous breakdown. I "like" the people that run the resturant but I just don't think this is going to work.

I've been out of work since July 9th and I keep filling out applications online, knock on doors around town and I've filled out a couple applications in person. I also pray every day that the Lord will move this mountain. I know it's in His hands and in His perfect timing a door will swing open. I just feel really down and worthless right now.

I am praying for you that all will work out and you get a great job soon!

I want to thank everyone that looked at this so far. Last night I felt a calm come over me that I haven't felt in a while. Alot of times I just don't know what to say when I read the needs here so I just say a little prayer over each thread.

Again, thank you!

I pray that everything works out for you Jamie.
God Bless you and Yours,

NP, They job market is really tough right now for everyone. But it sounds like these people are jerking you around. If you want to stay then you need to sit down with them and get things straighten out. But I would still continue searching for a new job in the meantime. Keep knocking on doors, one will eventually open.

Do you have a Starbucks anywhere near you? My friend just got a job there and they are loving it! If they work over 20 hours, they get benefits and the stores share personnel, so if one can't use you, you can sub at another. Plus tons of coffee "perks", pun intended!

Good luck to you.
