Is how I spent my shift tonight at work because of a call off. I could've put this in Cursing out Coworkers but it's not really about them. There are legitimate reasons (quit, sick, funerals) for the absences. I'm not even sure this is a complaint as much as just frustrated venting. Because can I really complain that I don't have a reason for calling off?
We're already shorthanded from cutbacks on hours and two of the three people recently hired have quit. The third has health problems that keep him out. One girl has had not one but two funerals in the last month. And then there were just assorted illnesses.
Being too reliable is my problem and again is that something to be mad about? After the two shifts I've had this weekend where I had to cover photo and the front end I'm tired. I know the manager I worked with tonight appreciated it and the store manager might but I won't hear anything about it. I guess that's something my coworkers and I have in common the lack of appreciation for what we do.
Ahh, now I feel like I'm getting whiny. I have two days off that I'm going to enjoy.
