My.Job.

I guess one of the benefits of going to Delgado, is that fact that I get Tuesdays and Thursdays off. So with so much idle time on my hands, I turned into a new availability form at work, letting my managers know, hey, I can work all day Tuesdays and Thursdays...great right? Sure, whatever. So of course, they schedule me every Tuesday and Thursday, whether it be 9-6, or 6 to close. Whatever, The Grand has some pretty screwed hours, and with my position, I never get off wheneven I'm scheduled to get off anyway. Been there two years and two months, I know that SYSTEM down pack. So anyway, I was scheduled Thursday for what we call the "matinee shift", and most people know what "matinee" means, that means you pay two dollars less before six, so all those cheap people come (not including the elderly) to the movies early so they don't have to pay the extra two dollars. But I'm leading away from the post...so I worked this morning. Of course, in my position, I'm under the managers, above the regular employees, that means I deal with anything and everything that comes through The Grand, money, customers, stock, whatever it is you that you can possibly name. Now, my job doesn't suck, it's pretty steady, and the money isn't bad. There is the occasional "I wish this place would fucking burn down" complaints, but that's usually when the youth of New Orleans come through and makes it their hot spot to hang out for the night. We've recently got a new manager who shall remain nameless. He's an asshole, and when I mean asshole, he's number 2 on my shit list, after Bush but before my dad. He works like a snake. At first, I thought he would fire all those people who had real seniority at The Grand, because when under new management, they like to bring in new people to fill those positions. Well, he did bring in new people, but didn't fire any of the old ones. In fact, there are a number of "regular" employees who get paid the same, which raised hell. I must say that I stress myself out every other day for some bullshit, and I feel under appreciated and under paid...mostly under paid. So, when I find out that some of the "new" people are getting paid the amount of money as I do, I instantly think that this guy is trying to get rid of me and the three other people who hold the supervisor position. There had to be a reason why he was starting these people at the same rate. So I bring it to his attention, that I and the other supervisors know, and he tells me "they're supervisors too...". In my mind, I'm like bullshit. So he has like 4 people who get paid the supervisor rate scheduled with the regular employees...now there is a pro and con to this. The good part about this is they don't fuck with my hours, I still pull in about 45-50 hours a week, the bad part is that these "new supervisors" don't do the supervisor work, he also plays favoritism. Like this morning, one of the four people who are these undercover supervisors, doesn't come into work this morning. So I'm pissed, because I have to open up by myself because one of the regular employees are late...as usual. So what I had planned to get done today, didn't get done, because I had to work by myself, which means that the weekend crew, will be assed out for the Mardi Gras holidays. My friend Donald says I shouldn't care, since I don't have to go back to work until Mardi Gras night,so I won't have any problems when I work again. But I hate having things planned out, and not finishing what I started. But the point is, if it had been me who was a no call/no show, I would have gotten chewed out and probably written up. Now we just had a meeting about this, we even had a fucking workshop for the new supervisors, a meaningless pointless meeting for me anyways, I didn't think I needed to attend, but my manager looks at us like we're a team. Team my ass, at my job, it's every man for himself, and I hate to say that because it's a job that I don't plan on staying at. I lost my train of thought, I'm tired now, I'll finish this later...
