Dealing with reduced hours at work - July 30th 2021, 12:03 AM

My job has been frustrating lately.

I've had a lot of reduced hours due to different issues that have arisen. The issues are out of anyone's control but I still expect my hours weekly, whether it's through contact tracing, events, or side projects. With everything going on, it's been back and forth whether or not I'll make my hours for the week. If I don't make my hours I don't get money and can't pay my bills, as that tends to go.

There's also been a back and forth on WHAT I'm doing and when. First I'll be doing x event at y time, then the time changes, or I'm not doing the event at all, or something different happens. It gets really frustrating.

I don't WANT to have to get a different job. I really like what I do. With Covid cases picking up I might get more hours, but nothing is a guarantee. If I get hours, I'm happy to stay. But if not, I really do need money. I'd also be kind of screwing them over if they get a surge in cases and I'm gone.

Getting a second job would be hard just due to transportation (I don't drive and buses don't run that late here), and because of the hours my job has me work now.

How would you proceed? Like I said, I don't want to quit my job unless I have to.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
