[QUOTE="FS3, post: 1298551, member: 52531"] OK, so really given my situation, I'm not all that worried about not getting enough hours. 30-ish is fine with me and suits me. I just like to know what to expect. I don't want to make commitments for other things, thinking I'm going to be off around a certain time and never being able to count on when I'm out of there. In other words, I'm more so worried about having a grabasstic schedule and not being able to stay within it, than I am not getting enough hours for me. So when you say some nights you were there until dispatchers came in, how long over your shift are we talking here? I was told my shift would be 5-10pm so outside of a few hiccups here and there, I will pretty much expect to get out of there closer to 10 than midnight. I don't mind telling you that I'm former military, this isn't my first supervisor position, I've been in business for myself and I don't put up with bull:censored:, even from employers. I can and will walk if we come to what I would call a deal breaker, and let me tell you, being paid one hour less than I put on that clock will be a deal breaker for me if they expected me to stay and work it. I regard that as stealing from me, just as they would. If they expect me to work it, I expect them to pay it, or they will watch me clock out on the dot every friggin night. The pay I was told today is actually $2 more than what I was getting at USPS filling in for postmasters, if you can believe that.
