Even if we assume that's the case, you're still a shitty manager. Giving me the hours would've been a lot cheaper than the cost of onboarding a new hire and then paying us both. So, this explains a week with 12 hours, but does not explain passing me over twice without a word. And now you'll have to answer for these poor decisions because you're consistently over budget on payroll. Like I keep saying, you want to own the decision to hire, you own the consequences of an unbalanced budget. And getting rid of me, as much as you may want to will never be the common sense solution.
