Hour Cuts Suck
Well my job has managed to screw me over pretty bad. To make a long story short the guy that owns the hotel I work at bought a lemon and now the business is going into the ground. I feel like I'm on a sinking ship.
The place is falling apart, dirty and he just did an early termination of his franchise (because he couldn't pay them their fees) and owes them a bunch of money. His liquor license he bought from the old owner is now expired and they won't issue him a new one until he pays the $4,000.00 the old owner owes them (it transferred to him since he bought it) and pays for the new license. We have no one staying here and the frats aren't using our ballroom anymore because they can't have a cash bar. Either that or he is charing the frats almost $500.00 less to provide their own liquor (which probably isn't the brightest idea ever).
So, since he can't afford to really pay us, for lack of revenue, he has taken on 5 shifts per week himself and cut all of the day people down by 1 day a week (because he doesn't want to work the overnight shift).
So what does all this mean for me?? It means that I get paid $176.00 less per month (after taxes)!!!! He really doesn't understand why I might be upset about this. So, I have to look for a new job. I applied for 8 last week and I've interviewed for one that I won't know anything about until next week. I'm still going to stay on here a few days a week because I generally like the job (mostly because I do virtually nothing all day and just do my homework and play online). Although I would leave for a wonderful full-time job somewhere else but I don't see that happening so..... yeah.
We can't survive on almost $200.00 less a month. I don't know what I'm going to do if I can't find a new job soon! Although I'm not going to let it get me down because God has always taken care of us and I know He will this time too. I just have to keep working on finding a new job and be patient and not worry. I'm doing quite well so far.
