Double Standards are FAIL. (In an Epic way).
I have a friend (if you're reading this 'Hi friend!' xoxoxxo). She works in a customer service type position. We both used to work together at the bookstore of Hell and Pain and Suffering - That which shalt not be named - and she left after me to this job, which was basically her ticket out of that hellhole so we were all very pleased for her and she was quite pleased herself. Pay was decent, hours were decent, all was reasonably good. Or so we thought. Now she's gotten into a Uni course that she's quite psyched for and her employer has told her to choose between a job and university.
WHAT THE FUCK!?
Ok, so Number 1. Who the fuck does that? This wouldn't be so much of an issue if a bunch of the other staff there also happen to be uni students who's schedules everyone's been more than happy to work around.
Number 2. WHY won't they work around hers? Like, really? They told her all this crap about having a business to run, the usual speech they give you when they're a bunch of lazy fuckers who want to get by with the least effort possible. I mean, I'm sorry...I don't want to give away too much, but there is a ridiculously high number of customers going into that place. And they'll always go into that place. Generally speaking it's a part of life. So going on about how tough the business world is CONSIDERING their already established client base and the huge motherfucking merger they've just done which is only going to bring them MORE BUSINESS, is a little bit rich.
Argh! This shit makes me go all Hulk Mary. Except I'm not green and I'm certainly not Eric Bana or Edward Norton. Though if I was, none of us would have to work because I'd be rolling in it and I would hire her as my life assistant and we wouldn't have to worry ever. That would be nice. I would like that. Chances of it happening.....not very high. -.- I can dream though, can't I?
