Cross about this

[RabidEchidna]

I work two lunch times a week in a sandwich shop (Thur/Fri)
In the time I have worked there I have gone in early stayed late, covered shifts for others (including the boss) due to illness/family/holiday and people have done the same for me.
I went in over the weekend when someone was ill (only one person on a weekend) and I have only ever once before been unable to cover something when called.

So Great Auntie (91) has had a heart attack, is in hospital at the other end of the M25 and I was there Monday and arranged to go again today taking my mother with me, I got a text this morning asking if I could go in to work today and I replied Sorry no, I then get a text saying "what are you doing today you will have to make the effort and come in" So I replied Sorry Auntie in Hospital needed there, and I do make the effort I did Saturday. I then get text saying I would only need you 12 till 2 and again I say I can't do it today.
In the end he got someone else to cover it but then text to say he wants me in early tomorrow to "discuss" today.

Right now the only thing I want to say is stuff your fucking job AIBU to think I deserve a little bit better treatment, I do not have any contract and it is min wage.
I am so frigging cross

Actually - depending on how evil you feel...
Tell him you quit but you'll happily work out your notice... and then give an evil little smile. In fact give a little giggle every time you make a sandwich - offer to make him a sandwich and barely contain your smirk, eagerly watch him eat or drink anything you prepare... all the time with an evil little smirk on your face.

He will assume you have done something nasty to his sandwich/coffee/whatever.
The beauty of the plan is you actually do nothing but he will think that you have because he knows that he's been a nobber and would assume you would want some form of revenge!

Or am I just massively over-thinking things now?

I'd say sack him off, actually. No notice, no nothing - just "good bye and thanks for nothing."
Yes it will leave him in the lurch but he should have thought of that before he started trying to be the heavyhanded thoughtless nob.

TLP - so sorry for your DH - what a cunt his ex-boss was as well. Most places understand what compassionate leave is for...

Thank you thumbwitch - he was a bit of a twunt. It was over 12 years ago now and DH and MIL are both understandably very angry about it and bring it up from time to time. It added unecessary stress to an already difficult time.

There's a lot of gossip in that place for sure....run for the hills even if the place is convenient it sounds like youth club mentality.

I hope your great Aunt is feeling a little better you're right to put all your energy towards her at this present time.

Why do people think they own you when you work for them??
