What would you do?

[queenofmean]

Right...we have 2 shops one across from the other.
Today one of my colleagues says I'm meant to be in today but he's swapped me for tomorrow I'm away up town now that (me) arrived - boss likes 2 in each shop but there could have been 3 in one and 2 in the other.

Now...we were to take the sale off today in both shops - Monday is cleaning day colleague knew this, she knew what had to be put away and everything. We all dropped hints she should stay but no she said she wasn't meant to be in and was leaving, in the end there was 3 in one shop and 1 in the other.

If this was you what would you have done?

Sorry, I got lost at "swapped me for tomorrow I'm away up town now that (me) arrived "

I think somebody went to the wrong place and couldn't work out what to do about it. I am by no means sure, though...

[EvianBaby]

Don't understand most of what you wrote but if there needs to be two in each shop and at the end there were 3 in one and 1 in the other then what's wrong with the girl (the 5th person) leaving, they just move the extra person from the 1st shop to the 2nd. Or not.

I would go and have a quiet lie down.

Nobody was in the wrong place per se....our boss had swapped her shift to tomorrow so there was plenty staff. I was running late but instead of sticking about to help out as there was so much to be done she chose to be selfish and trot off up town. Had it been me and not needing to be in until the next day I still would have stuck about to help get everything done and not leave one person on their own in the other shop, with all sale stock, customers and such to be dealt with.

What I wanted to know was if this was you and you knew the things that had to be done on this day and seen how much work and time it would entail would you have gone away or would you have stayed for a few hours to lend a hand.

If I knew there were 4 staff available and I wasn't mean't to be working, I would go. 3 + 1 = 2 + 2

[bednobs]

if i had worked my allotted time, i would leave

[queenofmean]

I think everybody is missing my point..but it doesn't matter

Gone to another town to shop!

[sherrardk]

Maybe you could re-word your question (easy to get muddled when you are be vexed).

[queenofmean]

i have sort of re-asked the question in my previous post sherrard.

TBH I'm sick of the place I work in (and some of the staff) and I really want to leave but I can't seem to find something else or even what I want to do

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

I get it queen but here's my question. If she had stayed and not turned up tomorrow, how would your shops have been staffed then? Or would you have expected her to work an extra day with no notice and without asking?
As for me? I would stay in my current job because they treat me nicely and fairly and like an intelligent adult, but my last job could have kissed my jacksy as it flounced out of there.

[queenofmean]

well to be honest she's always claiming to be skint so why not jump at the chance of a few hours extra? If she hadn't turned up tomorrow then there is the slight possibility that someone else would be asked to go in and do a shift. Thing is she is forever changing/swapping shifts asking to get away early to get the bus to her caravan and its getting a wee bit out of hand, quite a few of the girls I work with have really had enough. I'm staying put for now as not sure what the future holds for me. But chin up I guess :)
