| I got fired tonight....by my "brother/boss"
|
|
|
Well, today started like any other. I woke up texted my baby, got ready and went to work.
Work went okay. I was supposed to get off at two but didn't actally clock out til 5pm. nbd
Well, Joey has a slip-disc and she couldn't hardly walk. She was supposed to come in at 3:30 tonight, so she had to find someone to work for her.
Well, Brandon pulled me to the side, explained the situation, and asked me if I would work for her. I said that I would appreciate it if you could find someone else cuz I had to study but if you couldn't find anyone, I would.
Later, I was trying to see if Amanda would work, Brandon came from Pizza Side and said to me, "So, Morgan, we workin tonight?" I told him that I'm trying to see if amanda will work. I told him that I needed to study and the only time I would have to study is tonight and tomorrow night cuz I had to work tomorrow during the day. He said, "Well, it's not like you gotta work all day." I said, "yea, I know, but I've got 5 classes to study for." then he asked, "Why couldn't you have studied Friday and Saturday" (first of all, it is none of his business what I do with my time. I was scheduled to be off by 2pm I scheduled myself to study that day. That's why people make schedules in the first place.)
Then I started to walk toward the office to look at the schedule, Brandon was behind me. Kara came up and asked if they had found someone to work for Joey. Brandon told Kara while I was standing right there, "Morgan's gonna take care of it." (Thanks Brandon.)
Then, while Karen and Kate were doin the paper work for the AM drawer, I stayed up at the front until something got worked out. I called Kate and she said that Bailey was comin up to the hostess stand. When she got up there i was talkin to Kara and as soon as Bailey walked up there she said, "Morgan, don't get your panties in a wad!!" (Excuse me??) I'm gonna move Ashley to hostess tonight.
The thing is.....Brandon kept tryin to push me to work. Knowing that me....not wanting to make someone mad or unhappy with me....would eventually give in. ALSO, know that I'm his sister he can push me a little bit more. *keep in mind that when he hired me he said that when we were at work we were NOT bro and sis....explain that one to me* Anyways....Tonight when I got home I was talkin to Mom and Dad about it and they said I needed to call Brandon and stand up for myself....so I did...
I called him. I asked him if he was busy. He said no. I had a sweet normal tone to my voice and I told him that there were just a few things I wanted to talk to him about. He said okay. I didn't know exactly how to start this conversation off so I just simply told him, "Brandon, I didn't really appreciate that way you treated me today." He said, "And how was that?" I told him that he would've never pushed any other employee to work for someone like he pushed me today. *he interrupted* I asked him to let me finish. He said, "Look, I don't appreciate, EMPLOYEES calling me and telling me about problems but because you're my SISTER I'll let you finish. So I tried to finish. I confronted him about him askin me why I didn't study Fri and Sat. he interrupted me again. About now was when he started interrupting me every 2 sentences. So I would try to talk, then he would interrupt, then I would try to talk over him. It didn't do any good. So finally somewhere after I had kinda given up on makin my point, he said "You don't have to worry about workin for me anymore." and he said something about me callin him and I told him that Mom and Dad told me I should because I needed to stand up for myself so I am. He said, Well, I'm sorry that they don't know the whole picture. I told them from the beginning that I did not like the idea of family workin in the same business (The manager at the Lex Sparky's is our Uncle) He said that I could just find another job somewhere else and That I'd probably be better off. I really didn't know what to say at this point so I just hung up.
I walked into the Living Room crying and Mom and Dad asked what happened and I said, "I just lost my job"
Brandon knows that I now have a car payment and me being his SISTER he fires me. I'm also as an EMPLOYEE I wanted to call and confront him about it in a calm way....but he kept getting defensive. He didn't like that I was telling him that he was wrong....and he fires me.
So, yeah, I'm a little confused. and as of right now....I'm an only child. I wouldn't claim Brandon to be my brother even if someone paid me a million dollars.
Well, after all this, Brandon's Dad calls him right after Brandon and I got off the phone.....Brandon didn't asnwer. HE KNEW he was wrong. Then Brandon finally calls Dad when he gets to sparky's. I don't know what all they talked about but, inside of 30 min Brandon already had all my shifts covered. Then Brandon told Dad that, "there are some things I need to do" (How convenient) Dad hung up. Dad told me later that he was not done with Brandon yet.
so all this to say....Morgan is no longer workin at Sparky's....
I wrote this so that I wouldn't have to tell the same story over and over....
In a way I'm glad. It had started to become that everyday was a bad day. I had forgot about one table and they got really pissed off. Brandon and Bailey talked to me about it and said that they would give me to the end of the week. If I got anymore complaints then I would either be let go, or moved to being just a hostess. Saturday night was BUSY. Jeremy was the only one on Pizza Side, Dustin, Matt T., and Ben would help him when they could. Well, This one table was upset cuz the buffet had hardly any pizzas on it. The man looked at me and said, "Tell me something, if this is supposed to be a pizza buffet why aren't there any pizzas on it?" I told them that they were really slammed back there and I told them I was sorry. This woman asked if they could make a request for pizza I said sure. They wanted pep and saus. So I went back there to tell whoever was workin on Pizza Side....Bailey said, "If they want it you're gonna have to make it yourself." I was like....huh?...okay... Well I started to make one....then Ben said wait before you scoop that sauce I need it for this To Go pizza. So I stepped back. I waited and Bailey said something about me makin the pizza and I said Ben needs the sauce....she said, pointing to the door where Ben was, "There a whole container under there...Use It! Then I was like....uh...okay...Ben's in my way...but okay. Then he takes the container and pours the sauce into the dish up top..I make the pizza and come back out front. Bailey is behind me and a guy from my table comes to me with two glasses in his hands and said that he needs some Diet Coke and some Tea. I was like yea, sure Okay!! Bailey asked me if he was from one of my tables and I said yes. She said, "well what's goin on?" I told her it's just really busy. She said...hmm okay. well...That table of course wanted to talk to the Manager. So Bailey talks to them and then goes to the office. She comes out and asks me if I'm scheduled to work tomorrow (Sunday) I said yea, as a hostess. she said okay...well you're new schedule has been changed so you may wanna take a look at it. She took away all my server shifts which was just one......BUT....LET'S NOT FORGET SOMETHING......that same night I had a table that said I was the best waitress ever....told Joey and John that they needed to have more waitresses like me. Then another table came in that the first table knew and told them that I was the best waitress in this place. (Which I know it's not true....but it made me smile)....They heard me tell me other table that I had to make their pizza and they said wow, you're really busy. They ordered two Cookie Monsters and the younger guy even asked if I was single...LOL but anyways.... had a THRID table leave me like a $8 or $9 dollar tip. So I had at least 3 tables really enjoy themselves and my other tables said they enjoyeed it and that they would be back....but....didn't gush over me........
but becuase I did what BAILEY told me to do...(make the pizza.....she took me off the waitressing schedule....not even takin into consideration that I just made them their fuckin pizza and i've been doin the best I could.
So, I'm glad I'm gone from that place. between false advertising....the mice....me not getting the pay I was told I was gonna get.....constantly being out of stuff....and other employees viewin my files.....I'd rather work for a place that will care about me. So Brandon was right....by workin for someone else....I'd be better off.....DAMN RIGHT! I'd be treated with respect...and they aren't even family!!
And I don't care if any of you go and tell Brandon or Bailey what I've said...that's fine with me....he knows he screwed up...and what goes around comes around.
anyways....I've vented enough. I'll see some of ya'll later...most of ya'll I won't ever talk to again because work was where we talked....and for those that are left.....This is just an update on what's goin on.
Later.
