[Kate*]

Whether I want it, or you assumed I didn't, isn't the issue. You hired her behind my back without telling me it was even an option, and that my choices were to take it or have my hours cut drastically. My issue isn't with the time, it's with your ethics. It's not that I turned down a choice, it's that I was never GIVEN one. And as the veteran employee whose outlasted EVERY OTHER HIRE in that department, as well as countless others and several managers, and worked the extra hours when I was your ONLY OPTION I DESERVED the choice.
