I went in this afternoon to copy down my work schedule for the next month. I honestly expected to walk in and see me having certain days off as that is how my schedule has been and is the way it should be. I figured there would be the occasional change throughout the month where I would have to cover a day on my normal days off, however, it would basically be the same. That was not at all what I discovered.

My entire schedule has been flip-flopped! I will no longer be working on Saturdays, which is my biggest money making night and instead of having my three days off that I desperately have to have together, I will be stuck working on my family night that I’ve had for months; Mondays. I’m so upset and angry that my schedule was disrupted in such a manner.

The disruption in my schedule has me questioning many things. The first thought that has run through my mind is the boyfriend of the Bar Manager who did all the scheduling has issues with Rob’s brother as they were once in a band together and have recently split. The only two days of the week that he works there are Fridays and Saturdays. His influence and requests give him a great deal of favoritism when it comes to the schedule and what he needs. Even last night, as we were finishing up, he passed a rude comment about Rob’s brother and I got pissed and told him I didn’t want to hear it; and he continued on, so I said it again, which finally shut him up.

Being in a position where I have lost my biggest money making night frustrates me to no end and is making me seriously consider finding another job. That’s the most difficult aspect to this, and as much as I’d love to “stay put” especially after some of my regulars from Rawlins finding me there; I’m having to face this decision now…
