yeah, not so fun situation....

boyfriend and i work(ed) at the same dry-cleaners... the business got sold from an awesome boss, who did everything amazingly and never messed up to these dumb as bricks koreans who mess everything up and can't speak enough english to ask for help. sean has been there for 6 freaking years, and they're cutting his pay, from $10/hr to $8.50/hr and his hours, from 60 hrs/wk, to like 35 basically forcing him to quit, and they were like "christine, you only need to come in on saturdays to do tailoring, 8-3, at... $5.25an hour." i was making $8 plus 50% of all the tailoring... now i'm not quite sure, but most tailors make way more than that, to begin with, and 5.25 is just rediculous... not to metion they can't get a weeks worth of tailoring done in a 7 hour shift... especially because i normally work 30ish hours a week, and still have to take some of it home

needless to say, yesterday was my last day, and today is his last day.

but then at vitamin shoppe, i'm looking at a promotion to asst. manager... and they're looking to hire new people.

working blows.
