New Hours
We have new hours at work. Instead of being open 10-6 M-F and 10-3 on Sat - we now have to be open 9-7 M, Th, Fr - 10-6 on T and Wed, and 9-3 on Sat. That adds 7 hours to our work week, but the company doesn't want to pay overtime, so we have to take long lunches to keep our hours below 40 per week. I'm not happy.
Oh, and there is work we have to do before we open the store, so my new effective hours are 8am -7:20ish. on those long days.

Looks like timet to talk to management and look for a new job. Cheers
That is not good. You didn't like this job anyway so maybe this will just motivate you to move on. It is easier to find a job when you have one, Judi
I hate greedy companies. This sort of thing is happening to my friend, as it happened to me and others at my job at Kohl's. I hope this situation doesn't last long for you!
That's crazy. They're crazy for expecting 2 people to manage that alone. I think you'd be happier and better off out of that job, no matter what else you have as a back up plan.
It may be true that you would be happier out of that job - but don't be hasty and leap too soon. Remember that even though you don't like some of the things that are going on there - it is still providing you with access to medical insurance and other benefits. It would be better to line something else up first before you "jump ship".
Oh, I don't envy you. I agree that you should start looking for something else so you can quit this job. Why can't they hire a part time person to fill in the extra hours needed?
