I believe I'm screwed here; what do I do? (IF I can do anything)

[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1175239"] I've found myself in similar situations before. It took me a few months to figure out that management was [B]asking[/B] if I wanted to go home in a very... strange, a very authoritarian kind of way. It made me feel like I was being told to get the friend*. Talked to one of the supervisors I'm more friendly with and he got it across to me that it's an offer to go home and not even a request... if I say no then it's just on to the next. This may seem kind of condescending but are you sure that you're explicitly being told to leave and not inferring that your supervisors want you to leave when they're really trying to figure out whether or not you feel like staying? (In my center and the way I've been told it's supposed to be done,) once they go through their people seeing if anyone wants to head home and still find themselves with extra heads, that's when the "official" seniority list'll come out and the lowest rungs on the ladder'll be sent home if there's not enough work. As a sidenote, I'm pretty happy I don't have to worry about this anymore. My biggest stress walking into work is deciding whether or not I'll stay when asked if I want to leave out. Haven't done that in a while, though... miss a single day and it feels like half my paycheck is missing next Friday. [/QUOTE]
