Work Holidays?

Tuesday night I had a meeting at work. I know you thinking 'what kind of meeting would employees of Kum and Go have?'

Well to be honest those were my thoughts exactly.

Turns out it was just a list of reminders for us 'night' people to make sure that we get done all the stuff the day people didnt' finish and need done for the next day.

HELLO!! I absolutely refuse to complete a job that someone else should have done. I could care less if your stupid burritos are full. Why? Because we don't make burritos at night. Therefore if the burritos aren't full when you need them it is because you didn't fill them. Not because I didn't fill them. Duh!

Then they went on and on about the dress code. We need to be wearing our ties and button down shirts, shirts should be tucked in, no skin should be showing, etc, etc.

I love how he looked at me when he no skin should be showing.

Seriously? I think he might be smoking something if he thinks I would be showing skin. Honestly not going to happen.

Then he brought up the colored bra under white shirt...

I think he was asking for punishment!

He then suggested that us girls wear t-shirts under our white shirts so that our bras don't show through and again looked right at me.

My bra is nude colored and as big as a t-shirt. It will have to do because I am not wearing a t-shirt underneath. Nor am I tucking in my shirt. Sorry! I won't be doing that until I start getting complaints from customers and as of yet all I have are wonderful comments about how much they love me.

Then after the meeting I had to meet with the boss about holidays.

Last week, or so, I left him a huge list of days I was unable to work in the next 3 months. Huge surprise that most of those days are holidays and the days surrounding.

I worked the next day after I left the note and he had wrote a note on it asking if I had checked the calendar.

You see only two people can have off any day at the same time. Two people already had Christmas off on the calendar.

I wrote a note back that yes I did look at the calendar and that we could discuss it after the meeting on Tuesday.

So after the meeting the discussion went like this:

Me: You hired me knowing I couldn't and wouldn't work any holidays.
Him: (silence)
Me: I made it painfully clear that I did not work 3 jobs while my husband was going to college to start working holidays now.
Him: (silence)
Me: You will have to figure it out. I will be out of town every date I have on that piece of paper. If you schedule me I will not show up.
Him: (more silence)

I think he was trying to unnerve me. He hasn't met my in-laws evidently!

Me: Is there anything else you would like to address at this time?
Him: I cannot guarantee that you will have all those days off.

Now he is getting ballsy...

Me: I can guarantee that if you schedule me I will not show up. When you hired me and I told you I couldn't work holidays it wasn't an empty threat. If you would like to fire me that is okay. I don't have to work. I haven't work a holiday in 9 years I am not starting now.
Him: (silence)

I think he was speachless.

Me: If you don't have any other concerns then I'm going home. I have supper to make.

And I walked out.

I thought it was fairly simple. He hired me knowing I couldn't work holidays. Did he think it was going to change. I don't think he expected me to stand up to him. Well I wasn't born yesterday and it takes more than that to intimidate me.
