Tumblr, once again I need to ask for your help. I need to make my rent on patreon because my hours keep getting cut.
My hours keep getting cut when I ask for a day off to go to doctors and things like that. I've asked my manager for more hours more than once, I've talked to her about this repeatedly and how I need 31 hours to pay my rent, and they keep getting cut to 20 or 25. I spent at least half an hour crying in my car yesterday, wondering what I'm going to do and looking for a new job. Is it discrimination? Maybe, but I'd never be able to prove it.
What's even more frustrating is that another of my coworkers just moved to full time and they hired a new person. Which means they ABSOLUTELY had the hours, know that I need 31 at least a week, and ignored it.
I'm looking for different work. I feel devalued, disrespected, and I'm so exhausted by "well I'll see if I have hours" because I KNOW they did - two people quit recently, and the hours could've been divided between my coworker needing full time & me and things would've been fine. The only connection I can make to it right now is that I've requested unpaid days here and there to go to the doctor. I schedule these days next to my one unavailable day as it is, then I use that unavailable day for other appointments, so it's like.. what do you WANT from me? And I'm just.. I'm so fed up with begging my manager to go in to work to pay my rent. It's not like we don't have this conversation every other week. She KNOWS I need the hours. I work for a megacorporation. They're there. I stay after all the time, I do everything asked of me, I don't call in, I literally only have had to go home once. I'm chronically ill and some days are bad pain days and I go in and cry in the bathroom because I'm afraid of being "punished" for being sick if I get there.
I put between 15-30 hours a week into patreon stuff as it is, so it is a job in itself. And as I look for work, that's what I'm asking for help with. If I can pay my rent on patreon it will be a huge weight off of me, especially since after the holidays it's apparently going to get even worse according to my coworkers.
I need a Christmas miracle. 🎄
I currently make about $150 a month on patreon. I need to get up to $570, which would be my rent. Tiers start at $1. I have over 3,000 followers on here, 1500 on Twitter where I've also put this out there.
I'm being frugal as is, as well as looking for new work. I'm at the end of my rope here with this job. I shouldn't have panic attacks every other week because my boss forgot I need money to live.
If I can get to $570 a month on patreon, it would be a massive help. Tiers start at $1.
I really, really need this to pull through, because there's no guarantee on a different job, and this is already my second job. Like I said, I'm applying. Put in three applications yesterday on my lunch to different places.
If you could reblog this, that would also be enormously helpful.
Thank you guys, and happy holidays, whatever you celebrate, for reading. If you can't become a patron don't stress yourself out - but please reblog this instead.
You guys have been hugely helpful to me this year. I have to ask once again, if you would please be there for me.
Here's a link to my patreon.
