In the next couple of weeks, I will be what they call, the "Shift Supervisor". What the hell does that mean, you ask?
Well, here it goes. I will get a pay raise from 7.25 per hour to 9.00 per hour. That's a great increase in itself. I will be closing the entire store down by myself once a week. That means I will be in charge of the store, acting like an Assistant, or just a, Manager. Counting all the money, making sure everything is in top shape, things that are needed in a fast food/grocery store environment.
This also means I will follow the usual rules of management. I will get all of the blame, and absolutly none of the credit. I just hope I don't get fired for some silly reason.
Yet another thing about this job is I will be working alot of hours. Right now, while it is in the Winter season, I will be working 6ish hours a day, for 6 days in a row. The schedule will follow like this:
Monday -> Friday *Saturday off*
Sunday -> Saturday *Sunday off*
Monday -> Friday *Weekend off*
Repeat
That doesn't seem so bad at first, right? Well, here is the crazy thing. Picture that schedule, but working 8 hours a day. That means alot of overtime, and alot of working. I already dread the days I spend there, I'm only there for the money in the end. I have to pay bills, right? And there really isn't another job that will offer me $9.00/hr with me just turning 21, and having NO management experience, NO college degree of any sort, I'm still fresh out of High School in a way.
This whole thing is going to be good for me in a way. It will teach me alot. It will hopefully help me to get rid of my Lazyness that I am having. I'll be the first to admit, I'm very lazy. I'll find the easy way out of things, and make all sorts of excuses. I don't like doing that, it's really just how I am. I don't like it, and I'm hoping to get out of it. I really don't think I'm intelligent enough for this job, but I have been there for 4 years now, and I think it's about time I got something out of it.
Plus at $9.00 per hour, that's a very nice check. As of right now, I'm making right around $400 every other week. Give or take $20, that's my bi-weekly check. At 70 hours a every other week, and 9 dollars an hour, thats $630. Take out, 150 for taxes, that's almost $500 a check. I am hoping by the end of the summer, I will have enough to by my loving RX-7.
So what do you guys think? Am I setting myself up for suicide? Anybody in the Texas/Oklahoma/Arkansas/Missouri area, I work at a Braum's Ice Cream and Dairy store. It has it's Fast Food side, but it's really a pud job..just alot of Corporate idiocy, but what place DOESN'T have that?
