Another early work day for me. I'm taking my 3:00 pm break right now.
A short while ago, I was asked if I could work a full shift on Saturday. I said "no". If we are being asked to work a full shift on our days off, I feel vindicated in my belief that we have needed more help, and I have been saying that for at least five months. I don't want to be a bad employee, and I don't feel I'm saying anything unreasonable. I don't like overtime and I avoid it when I can. I just feel that if we're being asked to give up days off to which we are entitled, then the company needs to address its staffing issues NOW.
The company kind of shoots itself in the foot in a way. They're very big on promoting from within, but then they are slow in filling the voids left when people promote. We have been dealing with being understaffed at least as long as I've been here (seven and a half months, and I hope not much longer).
I'm still looking for another job. I'm grateful to be working, honestly, but more and more I'm feeling the tug to move on. If anyone knows of a place in the San Fernando Valley looking for people, let me know. Especially, I'd like to try working in a Christian environment. Lord knows I could use the fellowship.
