Disrespectful Much?

Any regular readers to this blog will know that the organization I work for is a bit on the... immoral side. When I first started I was repeatedly told by upper management to always remember that I was replaceable.

Now I know in our current economic situation I should be grateful for having a job, and I truly am. I know I could be making much less at a much more shitty job.

But the thing is I think I would be respected more as a person at another job.

We received a memo on Thursday from the owner. They were adjusting our paid holidays. Not a huge surprise, they mentioned they were going to do this a few months ago so we were somewhat prepared for it.

Reading a little farther, they decided to take it a step farther. Now the new non-paid holidays are Memorial Day, the Fourth of July and Labor Day. They then decided that all the stores will be open normal business hours on those days. Additionally, no one will receive holiday pay for working those days.

The kicker? It goes into affect for THIS Memorial Day. Never mind the fact that everyone had made plans for the day considering no pharmacy, at least in our chain, had ever been open on that particular day. We were told if we don't show up, you are fired.

Logically this makes no sense. I can already tell you we're going to be dead. The even more confusing part is the stores that crank out a whopping 80 Rxs on a normal day will be open too.

*SIGH*

I take solace in the fact that I know I have less than a year to go at this place. It's just gonna be one shitty year.
