Whew - Work DramaFollow

come Monday 80% of the staff has put in their notice. Never in my entire working career have I seen the sh'it hit the fan like it did this weekend. I'm none to worried about myself since I have the management to use as references, there are lots of jobs available right now and I am doing alright. However I have a feeling that the couple days it will take me to find a new job will be like pulling teeth.

One might be a Mormon, does that count?

District Manager of All Mac's Convenience Stores in the area decided that she could save a buck by mailing out the checks. I was supposed to be paid by noon on Friday. It's almost Noon Monday...Still No Check.

If it doesn't show up with today's mail, I need to find out how to go about filing a claim and ******** that stupid ***** over.

So are you one of the ones that quit or not?

No. I did that to the girlfriend once before and she was stressed (with reason) about bills and rent getting paid, though I did find a new job within the week. Didn't want to do it to her again. Though after talking with her she seems remarkably fine with it so I just might put in my two weeks today and if they fire me I will file a claim for my wages.

Turns out the exceedingly cheerful and nice personal assistant to the owners had been advocating firing a number of the higher paid more 'on the managers side' employees for the last 2 months, he wanted to replace them with lower paid grunts and start fresh. Apparently I was on the list to get axed. We will be having lunch this afternoon to discuss the state of affairs and frankly I am going to speak my mind, no angry like but I am going to confront him in front of what little staff we have left.

I'll let you all know how it goes.
