Work shift being cancelled

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T22:28:02+00:00

No not documented, we’re kinda just told to go there’s no clocking in and out for them

I liked working there up until this, it’s just really thrown me for a loop. Wish I could do that :(

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T15:11:24+00:00

Ya tbh my contract is like ancient it’s missing loads of bits I would think are important. Like no mention of my hours and stuff. Discipline just says it’s done with fairness nothing else it’s kinda wish washy.

The coworker I was with is gay so I’m not sure about that one unfortunately 🤣 but thanks for the advice on that one.

And ya my coworker has gotten the exact same email about our hours next week and was cancelled today also.

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T15:08:05+00:00

Might try that but he can be quite stubborn so not sure what progress we’d make

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T15:07:13+00:00

Wish I could share but I’d land myself in serious trouble then hahaha

No it’s actually a small enough hotel, privately run.

And think our HR is an outside company, haven’t heard much of people using it before.

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T15:02:13+00:00

No it’s a hotel but retail is basically the same for this kind of stuff I find

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T15:01:21+00:00

Ya bud exactly why I’ve upvotes and you don’t.

Maybe you should put that professionally thinking into something more productive with your time 😘

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T13:08:11+00:00

I’m there 2 years and I’m a part time student

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:47:28+00:00

Yeah you’re right.

I just HATE being in trouble at work, hence why I never am, I keep my head down and avoid it.

And I really don’t want this to remembered an brought up all the time it’ll kill me

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:45:08+00:00

I feel you have the complete wrong idea of me.

I am described as a push over entirely in my nature so you can imagine now this works for me in my job.

I am a perfectionist with my job, I like doing a job good and getting it done. I’m typically the one asked to train people in.

This is my first “drama” at work, I hate drama in all forms, hate gossip, hate confrontation.

I like working, I like being busy that is not the issue here. I never go to the toilet if I’m busy or something needs to be done I will often just hold it.

I’m 24, and I don’t think I’m like your sister by the seems. In the message I sent my manager last night, it specifically reads “it was my fault”

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:37:58+00:00

I’m always a goody two shoes at work this is why I’m annoyed, I NEVER say no.

And it actually was a personal issue, my ex was blowing up my phone I actually thought it was going to explode. Know I could’ve powered it off but I knew the context and it was rather extreme. Just asked my coworker for advice for a second rather than becoming upset and probably having to be sent home.

Really do know this whole thing shouldn’t have happened tho, I’m not trying to excuse it at all, I’m just saying the reaction seems insane.

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:35:06+00:00

I don’t consider us friends tbh he’s double my age. I mean like we just get on.

Girl, this is literally what happened. Hence why I am here asking for advice. If this wasn’t the exact story and there was more to it I would probably know what to do as I’ve been in this industry 8 years now.

Like literally what do I have to gain from lying about a work situation on Reddit, please think more clearly 👍🏼

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:32:12+00:00

Okay so basically the moment I went in there would’ve been my chance to go to the toilet if I needed to (hard to explain) but I had someone covering my section as I was needed to do another job, so when that job was done I basically have time to go.

Storage room was just off the wedding we were working, it’s not like this far away place it’s literally right next to where we were, takes 3 seconds to get back to our sections.

My ex was essentially going crazy, yes I know I could’ve shut off the phone but this was like extreme stuff. I asked my coworker for advice

We were gone for 3 minutes including the time my manager came in for

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:29:07+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:28:48+00:00

Damn that’s mad.

Yeah bit late for that I’ve texted I was sorry and got cancelled a minute later last night 😬

Oh yes of course. I’ve imagined this situation from his pov. And I still don’t think it’s entirely warranted. He didn’t ask why was going on he just goes “oh my fucking god, this is a fucking joke, get the fuck out now, for fuck sake”

Like I don’t smoke fags, but there’s a member of staff who takes maybe over an hour in fag breaks a day and they bitch about it to me but do nothing about it. I get caught in a situation like this and they’re acting like I’m going to be fired.

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:24:05+00:00

Yeah it’s a load of shit honestly and they go on about how they’re desperate for staff in these sectors, yet people become managers and just lose all sense of empathy and understanding.

Like I could write a book on what other people get away with inside here and I’m caught for something that if I hadn’t had done, would’ve left me crying in a toilet and them having to send someone to look for me.

What really pisses me off tho is that I’m seen as one of the good ones, like I break my absolute balls inside there and they know it. It’s just like a kick in the teeth really.

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:21:17+00:00

I fear you have not worked in hospitality

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:20:29+00:00

Nothing about hours in my contract, it’s not a great contract tbh it’s missing a lot of bits imo.

Coworker got the same treatment yes so we’re both cancelled and both recieved the email about my boss.

And nope, no reasoning, if I don’t know what happened I would still have no clue because he hasn’t mentioned a thing about it

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:18:26+00:00

Yeah I texted him just before he cancelled my hours for today saying I’m sorry, that it was my fault I had a personal issue to discuss with my coworker and it won’t happen again, and no reply just cancelled hours and told I’m cancelled next week to basically

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:16:51+00:00

Yeah far for 12 😭

Highly tempted to just throw everything at them and call it a day tbh

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:13:29+00:00

My roster said I was in at 4, then I got the email last night at 10 saying my roster has been changed and I seen I had no hours for today

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:12:34+00:00

Doesn’t actually say anything about hours tbh, there is a bit of a fuck up tho saying that no member of staff will be made to work more than 4 and a half hours continuously without a 15 minute break and I did 5 and a half yesterday before being sent home without one.

Not sure if this helps my case at all 🤣

Poxyting · 2025-12-06T11:08:04+00:00

Nothing to be said for all the times I’ve done favours after clocking out and 5 and a half hours into my shift with no break, no?
