I knew it was coming, just didn’t think it would be this bad

TL/DR: Lost hours at work and now I am broke.

So the story here is, I worked a minimum wage job at this same store for years. If they could pay me less, they would. Place was rife with issues and they didn’t give a shit about their workers wellbeing at all (for example, we flooded once and they made me work their lotto booth in ankle deep water with extension cords floating in it powering the system). I got the offer last January to join in as a unionized doorman. Great pay, benefits, time off, the works. The catch here though was that they had too many full time employees and could only take me on part time as a relief worker, so basically I only worked if someone else took the day off, and I couldn’t join the union until I was full time. I figured I’d take it and keep the other job, just calling out whenever the new place needed me. That is, until they gave me my schedule and I saw I was basically working full time all year, except December. Man was I happy, I worked my ass off and paid my debts, and made sure I saved money to last me December, the only month I wouldn’t be working. But then plans changed. People canceled vacations they were taking, among other things, and I lost my hours bit by bit. As it stands, I have been out of work since early November and probably won’t be back until late January when I go full time. My savings are gone so I’ve been applying for credit cards so I can use them for my bills. I’m not making this post for pity, I’m just annoyed at my situation. Thanks for reading.
