"how fucked up is this?" Sun Jun-19-16 11:42 AM by RobOne4
I work part time at my sibling in laws business(my wife's little brother and sister and their spouses) her brother and his spouse just moved to Boston. So her sis N and her husband C run the day to day operations now. I was scheduled to work today on Father's Day. I have been salty about it since the schedule came out last week. Since the other half of the ownership team left N and C have been making shitty decision after shitty decision. They have been pissing me off left and right and I have been looking for a new job. So I didnt want to start an argument. I mean it did fall on a day I normally work and I didn't ask for the day off. I mean there are only two dad's in this building and it would have been easy to give my shift to someone else. But whatever. Not worth the argument.
Thursday I show up to work and the first thing I am asked by the other manager and one of our new hires was why I was scheduled on Father's Day? I replied I didnt ask for it off so they scheduled me. The manager pulls me to the side and says I didnt ask for Mother's Day off and N gave it to me. This manager also works every Sunday with me. I said really? She said yeah I asked why I was off and N said it's Mother's Day you cant work that day. So now I am fuming. Then our newer hire tells me the same thing. She was hired the week before Mother's Day and was worried she would have to work that day because she is a new mom. So she asked about having that day off and N told her oh dont worry no mom's are working that day. All 4 mom's were scheduled off. Two of them were new hires who had been with us less than a month.
But today their first employee who is one of 2 dad's in the company was scheduled to work. Not only that but I was given the closing shift. Several times since N and C took over I have wanted to tell them to go fuck themselves and walk out. But I havent because family. I expect to be fucked over by a big corporation. I have been before. But to be fucked by your own family. That shit stings.

and her sister is her best friend. But I am not trying to stir shit up more than it needs to be. Im pretty sure I'l have something in the next month. But this has definitely changed our relationship. Working with them two has been one of the worst work experiences I have ever had.

Family is funny as shit...
**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Shit can get especially funky when different cultural backgrounds come into play. I kinda agree with your wife telling you to walk out, but since you know you're moving on I guess standing up to them might not be worth your time. But they know what they did, and who they did it to...

they have slowly loading me and the other managers plates with more and more duties that they were in charge of since the other half of the ownership group moved. They have all the easy schedules and when they do work they dont hold employees accountable and just sit in the office all day watching movies. They are just lazy and have the benefit of two good managers that keep shit in order. If my wife and son werent so close to them I would raise hell. But this is between me and them. I told my wife I dont want her to get involved and dont want this to affect her relationship with her sister. But mine has been affected. She understands and thanked me for not making her choose sides.

I think you are making way too big a deal of this. I'm working too. I think it's a REALLY bad look to complain about it. If I had an employee/co-worker/whatever complain about having to work on father's day/mother's day/birthday/ any of that my internal thought would say 'Man....grow up'. That's me though. And I might be unique in this regard. I think anyone who makes a big deal of their bday after 18 is kinda pathetic.
But to think about quitting a job over this? Are you rich or something? That's just so out there to me.
shouldve got a day off, since it seems to be default to give mother's the day off same should be for fathers
