Don't get scheduled because "We just don't have any shifts available for you this week."

Yeah I'm just going to look for a new job somewhere else. This method of getting rid of people is incredibly disrespectful

Or it is because you're ugly

Do that, but don't quit.
Eventually they'll schedule you hours and you just won't show up.

this is true and it's here to stay. if they tell you something along this line, gtfo they do not want you and anything you do not gives them excuses to fuck you up later. also Mon when they ask you weekday happened with your last job don't say tgey didn't have hours for you. I will not give you a job and no one wants a shit employee.

Please tell me that English is your second spoken language.

kneecap one of the other employees, wait 3 hours then call in asking if anyone called off

Where the fuck do you people work that this happens? Fucking mcdonalds?

It's extremely common in the business world, and has been for decades.

It's pretty common in the service industry, less so in professional or trade settings.

It's a common tactic to prevent people from collecting unemployment because the more claims a business has, the more they have to pay into state unemployment.
My Mom used to run the players club computer systems for a casino in Deadwood. When they outsourced her job, instead of laying her off and letting her collect unemployment they made her a part time cage cashier so that she had to quit to find a better paying job.

it's more common in trades these days.
it's a combination of gig mentality and over abundance of unskilled labor and even skilled labor that have some sort of entitled claim and bad work ethics.

I work in a large security company and employer turnaround is literally a daly thing

Look for a new job in your free time

>have some sort of entitled claim and bad work ethics
This. The vast majority of people are stupid lazy entitled shits.

My old manager used to do that to people when she got pissed off at them for something. She was a fucking moron.

As a manger it means you suck at your job. You should quit because you won't be getting hours.

they claimed to have no hours for me, but I just looked at the schedule again, and they gave serving shifts to bar tenders, and it's pretty tempting to quit rn.

exactly what I'm doing right now.

Look for another job and just don't go back. Fuck them over when they need you most.

Is unemployment in America like it is here in Canada where you have to apply to a certain amount of jobs or some shit?

working in the food industry is for gay men, single mothers, uneducated foreigners, and addicts. get a real job.

I'm a student

Meant for

>tfw the kitchen "manager" didn't check last week schedule and put you on 14 days in a row
>tfw you had to do most of the deliveries
>and deal with new staff

I had to pick up wash up shifts. I don't mind but it kind of feels like a demotion. And it's shit when busy

Yeah, you have to show that you're actively looking for work.

Thanks for the thread OP, stealing this idea to ge rid of somebody who I can't outright fire.

No problem user

start looking for a job, you've most likely been unofficially fired

I hope a disgruntled employee blows your brains out.

start looking for a job that does have hours while continuing to work for them.

OP here, I already found another job

Not in any actual job

I can see it if you're like, a dishwasher or a waiter or something, but anybody with any kind of actual responsibility? I don't see it.

>common in trades
Definitely the opposite experience I had when I was doing an apprenticeship as a plumber

>employed as seasonal staff
>only cover out front and washpig shifts now
d-december will be better

plumber is a bit better than most along with electrician and hvac
have you never seen a fuck up just get cut? I'm talking about the guy that is to lazy to square and plumb and doesn't get the need to flux or clean, that fucker that makes more work for the rest and just hoesto fire watch.

>get paid $35/h
>get to work as many double shifts per week as I want
>work 2 days a week and spend the rest shitposting

>Not in any actual job
Well, in the sense that salaried jobs don't schedule hours because you always work then that's true. But I had a director at a big insurance company who pushed out employees all the time without actually firing them. He made it clear they weren't wanted and eventually gave them the option to either resign or get fired. Needless to say they all chose to "move on" quietly

It's called starving you out, I've had it done to me once and seen it done to a bunch more. They decided they don't want you or like you or whatever but have no legitimate reason to fire you.

Reminder that in some states that a significant reduction in hours is considered a defacto layoff. Collecting unemployment can be /comfy/ if you're single.

I've only worked 2 salaried jobs in my life, every other one expected a full 40 hours every single week, I was never given the option to take some time off unless it was PTO

Back when I was stuck managing retail, my bosses convinced me to hire a guy because they needed to fill a diversity quota. I didn't want to hire him, because I didn't think he was a fit.

Of course he started working and was a shit employee, so he got ghosted on all of the schedules, but still came in diligently to check each month. Each manager kept passing him off to another and eventually they decided it was my responsibility to "deal with it" because I hired him. His mom even came in to talk to me.

Eventually he quit and it sure felt shitty. That was the first person I ever hired.

If he was a bad employee why would you feel shitty?

>Living in a shitstain union state
Yes I love paying $1.50/hr of my $8.50/hr paycheck to union fat cats who do nothing for me except force me to give them money for a job.

Well, he wasn't a good employee, but it was more that he was disliked than his performance in total. His mom was so relieved he'd found work and didn't realize that even the best employees in our place got 15 hours.

It's no fun ducking around someone instead of giving them actual feedback about their work so they can improve. I'm happy I work in a real job now where when someone is struggling, we coach them up instead of making it apparent they're not allowed in the clique.
