Archived Calling in New Years Day (Jan 1st) Flow Team. Can I get in trouble?

[Joel]

Last year I worked that day and screw it! I hated it, I couldn't even do anything with my family and friends, not even drink, what's ths point if you can't celebrate. I don't think I'm going this time, a lot of people called in that day, yes they were very, if not extremely low staffed that night, but I don't care anymore, i haven't called in like about maybe 7 months, and done it only 2 times. I'm definitely not going especially if it's at 2am, I no longer care. My question is are there any retaliation or something for doing this?

 

[Joejoe12]

No. But you should know they probably make life miserable for a while

 

[Leonhart621]

Bye bye hours

 

[Kartman]

People like you make it harder for the rest of us.

Just quit and save us all a lotta grief...

 

[Retail Girl]

The schedule isn't even up yet. But then again, I've never seen NYE as anything but an excuse to party....which I can pass on.

 

[dannyy315]

I'll be looking forward to the extra pay

 

[Kaitii]

If you really wanted the day off you should have requested it off and fought for it. Some people got Christmas Eve off because they managed to get in the request pretty early there's no reason you couldn't have done the same. Just go in and do your job there will be other days to party and drink.

My store posted the blackout dates at the beginning of August...

quit being a whiney, selfish asshole and show up to work like the rest of us.

 

[NPC]

If you don't care, why are you worried about retaliation?

 

[commiecorvus]

Or just show up so hung over you can't see straight.
Better yet, still half drunk.
I've worked with plenty of people who have showed up like that.
Hell, I was running a crew and a guy came in who was green.
Really, he was so drunk and sick he was green.
Party all you want, then drive straight to work.
That's what a real badass does.

EDIT: For clarity.

We didn't have any Blackout dates. It was just a "once the schedule is posted you can't swap the hours" so you had to make sure to get everything squared away before that. One TM got the entire Christmas week off

 

[Kartman]

That's what a real MORON does.

ftfy

 

[Redzee]

That's what a real... Sarcasm font?

 

[commiecorvus]

Yeah, sometimes it seems so obvious but I guess I should go back and edit it.

 

[Redzee]

Naw we got it.

 

[mrknownothing]

PLEASE do not do this. I'd rather you call in than put people's lives (including your own) in serious danger.

And yes, I realize commie was being sarcastic.

Why half drunk? Be like one of our former ETLs and show up fully drunk ALL THE TIME.

I can only hope they were a happy drunk (and didn't drive to work).

I'm sorry that not everyone is totally committed to a minimum wage retail job.

 

[Kartman]

I haven't worked for minimum wage since the 80's.

 

[Kompa]

I haven't worked for minimum wage since the 80's.

Any yet most new hires are still near that. My flow only starts at a quarter more.

 

[Kartman]

You've gotta start somewhere...

 

[Kompa]

Doesn't mean you gotta care. It's not like this a hard job to get
