[QUOTE="jibbs, post: 1960818"] As a seasonal, you're pretty much stuck doing what you're told, brutha. If you get hired on as permanent, and then make it through your probation, [B]that's[/B] when you'll have some realistic options open up on how to try and determine your own workload without facing repercussions. If you were in the union, I'd just tell you to slow down every day until the workload ends up evened out. They most likely have you on your pull because you've proven that you can do it at least up to their peak-time standards, whereas many others may've already proven that they can't. It's the curse of trying to be the best employee friend*in' possible in your first couple days and, while that's a good idea, I swear to God that :censored: will haunt you for as long as you let it at this job. As a seasonal, though? You've pretty much got to suck it up and take it, as they can just put you on the call-list if you piss them off and then... never need you to come in when you call for some reason or other. I mean, you can try talking to a supe' about it, I'm just saying that, as a seasonal that might want to become permanent (if that's you), it's best not to make any waves at all. Just go with the flow, even when the piss-poor peak planning takes you right over the waterfall's edge. $120 a week? This time of year? I feel like I'm making that every day this year, how in the friend* is that your weekly check? That's just over half of what I was making every week when I first started, man.... doesn't add up for some reason. [/QUOTE]
