WIBU to tell him to shove his job

Just a rant really because I can't afford to quit but cheeky ungrateful cunt.

I work in a pub, we have been short staffed for over a month (at one point we were down to just 2 members of staff). Between us we have covered every shift with no help at all from the owners at all. We have been working split shifts around childcare, double shifts and somebody cancelled their holiday to help out. Basically every spare hour we had, we have been working.

The shift tomorrow afternoon is not covered, of the 3 members of staff available I can't do it because I have no childcare, somebody else can't do it because she has worked for 12 days straight and wants a day off ( she also has a "main" job that she has worked 7 days straight) and the other member is working tomorrow evening, has no childcare either for daytime and is 7 months pregnant and doesn't want to work a double shift.

Still with me?

The utter cuntpuffin owner today has had a go that years ago, his staff all helped each other out and this would never have happened (the uncovered shift) and it's just not the same, but no disrespect girls eh Angry

There are 2 owners and all their family are involved in the business. Not a single one of them has worked even an hour whilst we've been short staffed but apparently we're in the wrong for not covering 1 fucking shift.

It was the end of my shift so I left before I said something that would have got me fired but I am so angry that he had the cheek to stand there and basically call us lazy when he hasn't lifted a fucking finger to keep his business running.

I'm off to trawl the job websites now

Get a new job and dont give him notice.
Even better if you could all leave together.

Yanbu

I didn't say anything because I just would have sworn loudly and at length and got myself sacked. I'll think of loada if things I should have said in about 2 hours when it's too late

And I had to leave to pick DS up from childcare that was hastily arranged because I wasn't even supposed to be working today

First thing all three of you need to do is stop putting yourselves out to cover shifts you don't actually want to. Extra cash is nice but bollocks to putting yourselves out.

While you're all covering his arse he has no reason to get off the lazy thing and recruit. Make sure the other two know exactly what he's said and agree to all working the extra hours that you want to. Use each other as support when he starts guilt tripping.

Wow totally yanbu. Stand your ground. My DH used to work for a family like this in their bar. Selfish, lazy, bastards. And greedy!
He left, they were lost without him as he ran the place. You need to get a new job.
