Dont go. Simple....well depends on the kind of job you have...if your on call...then your obligated...otherwise...all they can do is ASK you..not MAKE you.

Course that goes without saying...there may be "punnishment" for your choice.

that blows, just don't go. say he should have asked earlier or somethign cause you already made plans.

Trade them in for tickets set for another time. stupid: If they don't do that just spend the measly five to ten dollars for another ticket.

No, I have to go... they are short on ppl right now with everybody on vacation... I work at a restaurant ... they need at least 4 ppl in the kitchen and there are 5 of us that can work right now ... and the 1 called off so I have to go

No you dont...you feel obligated...but you do NOT have to go...trust me man, I been in this situation before...and quickly realized...dont LET them get you like that. I know you feel bad and I know it seems wrong..but its not...this is your day OFF...you are NOT paid to be on call for something like this...if they short people...tell the manager to go work that shift...its their job. As far as you going to work today..if you go...thats fine...but demand some overtime pay like time and a 1/2...just something extra...dont do it for nothing....at the VERY least...work today and request another day you were on the sch for...off. Make a deal..dont bend over and take it. rock:

oOo: ...Your Job and helping coworkers out should be more important than some Movie that you can just see some other time. You'll also be in whoevers debt for a future day you need someone to work for you and your Boss will see you as a team worker.

you should go in but be sure to use this to your advantage in the future. Tell the boss about the tickets and see if he will reimberse you. After he does trade them in for another showing. You have a good work ethic, not many people do. Keep it up, one day it will be noticed

Blow off work for a movie? Just go to work, and trade thoose tickets in.

Sniped Ur Azz · 06-24-2005, 01:34 PM

While it may help you out in the future...but anyone who works in a place like a restaurant, Movie Theaters, Corner Store, Grocery Store...etc...KNOW that when you work at a place like that...ALL you are is a "workhorse" its stupidity...they take advantage of you BECAUSE they know you will always "come in" when a shift is dropped. I mean, they WILL abuse it. Once or twice is enough...go past 2 times..your screwed. I know its nice, its good work ethic, its very kind and unselfish...but, they WILL turn it on you...has happened to me SOOO much. Just giving fair warning. Do whatever you wish though..just my 2 cents.

TonyMontana · 06-24-2005, 01:40 PM

besides ferich and stackem, the maturity in this thread is ridiculous.

Rely on the internets to make a decision for you. hake:

I worked in a retirement home's dining room all through High School, and I think you're full of shit. You just have a very cynical attitude and generalized view of those types of work. My occupation now reflects the same type of "working for people when need be", it's called being a good employee which reaps rewards.

Godsmack is filling in for someone who used an emergency day off ( which im sure you have a minimal amount of ), not someone who's taking a vacation day. I'd somewhat agree with you if it were the other way around and not an emergency.

jujumantb · 06-24-2005, 01:44 PM

Umm, being a good employee means coming in to work in situations like this, its just what you do for a job like that, I come in on days off all the time. Sure it may be a stupid part time job, but this stuff reflects on your character and you success later on in life.
