I had a shitty day at work. Yes, I'm grateful to have a job, but today was a reminder that I'm not doing what I need to be doing... For me... I mean, for now I'm doing what I need to do so I can do what I want to do (pay bills), but...
The kicker was that one of the managers, who likes me, told me that in a manager meeting it came up that at least one of them doesn't think I focus on my job and that I am more concerned about when I'm getting my break. That's TOTAL bullshit. I do my job, plus some, on a consistent, everyday basis. No, if I've been working 7 hours and still haven't gotten a break, my concentration may not be 100%. And yes, that has happened... on numerous occasions.
But today, I worked 10:30-6, and at 4pm hadn't had a break. I hadn't asked about it all day, but at 2:30 the general manager told ME that one of the other managers would be in at 3pm and he would put her on the manager drawer so I could get my break shortly after 3. I was thinking, "Great! He remembered!" Well, at 4pm he was looking at me with a goofy face and I had just finished making three hotel pans of chips, so I asked, "Oh?! Is it break time?!" He told the other manager to get on the drawer, and she made a snippy comment about how "Next time you should say something before 3pm."
What?!?! Why would I say anything now when obviously they think I'm more concerned about my breaks?
Just to make it clear, I'm primarily a cashier. But being the cashier also involves keeping the line clean, keeping the dining room and bathrooms clean, restocking the line, making salsas and chips as necessary, doing table touches (asking customers how their food is), and a whole lot of restocking. AND, when I'm not busy doing any of those things, I usually head to the back to do dishes to help everyone else out. So, REALLY?!?
