I have been working full time hours since I graduated trade school. No matter how much my husband and I worked, we never had enough money. We’ve worked hard to get our incomes increased over time, but the hole is so deep and impossible to fill.
My long term job recently laid me off. It’s a little complicated a story, but there were some ethical differences, though that’s not how it was presented. There was some discrimination in regard to my autism diagnosis, etc.
I found a new job and it was going great. It was an income increase and I was getting nothing but positive feedback and a promise of 30+ hours a week.
I noticed a trend. This restaurant is busy, well established, and all signs point to the owners having money money. Despite this, they only paid half of our hourly and the rest was dependent on customers (counter service).
The second the line wasn’t out the door it was “Okay go ahead and clock out,” even if we (myself and the other hires) had been there 3 hours and were scheduled for 7.
At first it was fine, but it kept happening. My text thread from the GM is nothing but “Sorry, it’s slow and I had to cut hours. Next week will be better.” Over and over and over again.
Then I got a text Thursday evening
“It’s been a lot slower than we expected. You’re a great employee and fit it great. I understand if you need to find another job but I can reach out when we’re busier.”
Just before Christmas. No notice. A text. Income down to zero. It’s not even like I had hours galore last week for one last paycheck.
So we are already way behind on rent and need help so badly.
I’ve applied for aid 4 different places and am going to talk to my apartment that. I’m just so stressed out and upset.
