Sorry to hear you're not enjoying your new job. Hope tomorrow is better

{{{hugs}}} C.Ann. I do hope this works out for you, but as discouraging as it sounded, you do have a job and sometimes finding a new job when you currently have one feels so much easier. Hang in there and I hope the days at your job do get easier for you.

I agree with Elaine. Now that you have a job, you can go find one that you'll really love. Best of luck to you C.Ann!

Hmmm, I think I would be looking at the want ads too! Maybe just maybe it will get better! {{{{HUGS}}}}

Oh, C. Ann! I'm so sorry to hear you really don't like this job. It does seem ridiculous that you would have to make up the time they are giving you off for Christmas Eve - guess they really aren't giving it to you afterall.

I'm with the others though, now that you have a job, it will be less stressful finding a new, better one.

Yep this job may be a step to your new direction. You will be more employable to someone if you are already in a job.
I hope you get home on time tommorow!

{{hugs}} C.Ann. I hope it gets better!

As far as your employers policy goes, the first thing I thought is......WHAT A SCROOGE!!!!!

 

[browneyes]

Sounds like a fun place to not work at.

 

[JasonLyons]

sorry, but ts still a LONG POST

 

[ratsrule]

Not to be the wet blanket, but be glad you have a job.

I do think C.Ann said (at least yesterday) that "at least it is a job"...

But, I have always had to make up for a day off in my work. Off Christmas Day, then I have to work another day instead. So, while the day off is nice, it really isn't truly a day off. When I worked for someone else I think we all complained about that but since I work for myself and still feel the need to do it, I guess there was a reason...LOL But, now when I curse the boss, I only hurt myself.

I hope this job gets better C.Ann. Or I wish that you'll find the job you really want and enjoy.

I'm not sure about the "making up" instead of getting paid less part, but those of us who have PTO (paid time off) are very used to having to take vacation b/c the office is closed. My sick leave, vacation and holidays all come from exactly the same pool. My office is closed Dec. 24 and 25 and Jan. 1, so those days are in essence mandatory vacation. The only time we don't have to take PTO is when the director closes the office for inclement weather (or in the case of the ice storm recently, no power).

C.Ann, actually it's really nice that they will let you reschedule your hours around your husband's needs. That is a major benefit in most companies.

The first week of any new job is always rough. I hate starting new jobs. Try to keep an open mind and give it some time.
