Replies amiee Posted at 12:17 pm on July 8, 2008 This is true, of course, but hopefully one would be aware of the hours they need to be available for before applying, so they know what they're in for, y'know? I wasn't completely aware of the hours that I'd be needed, but I guess it doesn't bother me too much seeing as I generally have my nights free to socialise. dragonking Posted at 12:12 pm on July 8, 2008 Well, people have other things to do so shouldn't need to be available at almost any time. amiee Posted at 11:38 am on July 8, 2008 Just because you need to be available during those hours doesn't necessarily mean you'll work all those hours though, right? I mean, I have to be available at absolutely any time, but it's not like I'm working constantly. dragonking Posted at 10:41 am on July 8, 2008 Quote: from xquackxattackx at 1:39 pm on July 8, 2008 i have to be available from 4:30 am until 12:30 am... i only have 4 hours when they really cant schedule me. and i'm only 16. That's practically slavery.   This is another reason why I am for socialism.  People need time off and there is joblessness because they want people to be available almost all the time and don't hire people to handle some of that time.  It's horrible. xquackxattackx Posted at 10:39 am on July 8, 2008 i have to be available from 4:30 am until 12:30 am... i only have 4 hours when they really cant schedule me. and i'm only 16. dragonking Posted at 10:37 am on July 8, 2008 Quote: from subway at 1:32 pm on July 8, 2008 Meh, it just depends on the job.. some do have ridiculous hours. For example.. i'm a chef at a hotel and on many occasions I have done a straight shift from 6:45am-midnight with a 30min break inbetween. Its just the nature of some jobs.. you shouldn't look at it as slavery..but rather CHA CHING $$$$ more money! That's a horrible job with all the long hours too.  There are things to do in life than work all the time.  What's the use of money if you just make it to have food and be able to have a place to sleep. dragonking Posted at 10:35 am on July 8, 2008 Quote: from carracer at 1:32 pm on July 8, 2008 Quote: from Wakeupcall at 10:31 am on July 8, 2008 It is! That's disgusting. How much were they gonna give you? probably not enough I am sure not enough.  Minimum wage and even a few dollars more isn't a living wage.  A person would have to work so much and just have time to eat and sleep when not working with all the hours they would need to work to make enough money. It's like slavery to be available all but 5 hours of a 24 hour day.  People have other things to do in life that are important too, relationships with family and friends, some time to yourself, etc. uwastedmyheart Posted at 10:35 am on July 8, 2008 You receive money. Slaves did not. Hottlikewowx33 Posted at 10:33 am on July 8, 2008 Tell them to suck a cock && burn. Youd rather be a full time whoring youself than that shit! at least your getting something out of it! sex and money! How much are they paying you? They arent giving you sex! They suck! But Oliver Sykes doesnt. I would give him head until his dick fell off. subway Posted at 10:32 am on July 8, 2008 Meh, it just depends on the job.. some do have ridiculous hours.
