There’s always a multitude of topics I can discuss at the end of the day; but, as usual, I have failed to leave myself adequate time to post about them before going to bed. I will, however, talk about my new job with the CSC Event Staff.
Today was the first day to call and schedule myself to work for Auburn’s game next Saturday. Now, before I begin I must say that I was told that I should call in on Tuesday (10:30 – 5:00) the week before the game, and get on the schedule to work, any shift.
So, of course I called right at 10:30.
No answer.
I call back five minutes later.
No answer.
Again at 10:40 and again at 10:45 with no answer either time.
By this time I had to go to class. I called back at 12:30 after class was over. I finally got someone. It was Sheika (or however you spell her name, I’m not really sure). I told her I wanted to work the 12 hour Friday night shift. She told me my report time was 5:30. Okay, I’ll be there. Then, she said to report Saturday at 2:45. And, I was like, huh.
To make a long, boring story a bit briefer, I was told that I had to work on Saturday at the game, completely going against what I was told at orientation by the head of the Auburn CSC branch. I went ahead and told her I’d work Friday night and Saturday at the game. Now, I’m having definite second thoughts though. Well, I had second thoughts during that moment in the phone conversation, but I didn’t want to get into with a supervisor before I even started my first day of work. Plus, I haven’t like her since I first went in to fill out an application. I get the impression that she is a little more than racist, and I was only hired because they probably had to meet some quota when hiring white people. But, I won’t get into that. It’s really a moot point in relation to the problem at hand.
The situation is that I have season football tickets (home games) that I purchased for $95. Now, I could have cancelled these tickets had I known that I would have to work at the actual game. My plan was to work the night before, go home, get some rest, then go to the game on Saturday. I can’t cancel the tickets now. Well, I can, but I won’t get a refund. So, if they won’t let me work the schedule that I had envisioned, then I guess I just won’t be working with them. It’s not like I need the money that bad anyway. Plus, I could probably use the extra time to relax. I just wanted to try out something new.
I can understand Mr. Tadlock’s frustration as I have experienced the same with this company if you can call it that. I want to add in the Seattle office, the office managers actually short your time on your time sheets. You know you do Randy. Also, the office staff edits your time (by reduction that is) and then refuses to pay you on top of that.
This is a real “bad place to work” unless you want to support the board and managers.
I can be contacted to further give you all the facts you may want to hear.
Best advice, look for part time work else where, this place will give you a headache arguing with their incompetence.
