hey laurel ...
I've talked with a bunch of people over the last month who are feeling trapped by the "I must work over church on Sunday" thing.
When I ask questions about it, most admit that they are not even asking for the day off because they are either afraid they will loose favour with the management, or feel they are just luck to be working there and should not impose their personal requests for a day off.
I rememeber thinking the same thing when I worked at Fottlocker during highschool ... did not want to ask for certain time off out of fear really.
Here's the thing though ... the management won't be shocked ... they won't fire you ... they respect people with boldness and self-confidence who ask for days/time off for personal reasons (like church) ... and they don't punish you for asking by cutting your hours. (*grin*)
You need to ask for that off if you want it Laurel. Write it out in a letter form even, and when you present it, expect to get it off. You might be suprised.
Oh, and congrat's on your impending graduation!!!!!!
haha, thanks dan!
see... the thing is here, I said when I hired on that I WOULD NOT work sundays. and they called me in one sunday cuz the were swamped, how could I say no? THEN I got scheduled the next sunday, as extra staff. alright. and now it seems to be a trend. And the thing is, I work with a TON of other christians who don't get sunday off, in fact, there is only two non christians that work at schnitzlez. so how can I complain when they are not? ya know? except I've got the assistant manager pulling for me to have sundays off now, which would be spectacular.
thanks dan!
