I am so mad for my boyfriend right now. We work at the same company, and in the same department. At the start of June, work was pretty slow so he was told to use all of his banked time and stay home for a few weeks. When he came back, they told him to go back home. Each week he came back and they told him to go home. It's been almost two months now.
They were going to send him out of town on a job at the start of July but that keeps getting pushed further and further back. Just a few days before he plans on leaving, he gets told the contractor pushed the job back another week. However, he was promised by the project managers that he would have any weekends off that he needs, so we have bought concert tickets together, and he has made plans with his family for things such as his grandparents' 60th anniversary (they are in their 90's and may not be around much longer)
This morning he got told to scratch his plans, he's getting sent up north to a mine, 13 hours away, for a job that is 2 weeks on, 2 weeks off. That means selling our concert tickets (when in our lives will we get another chance to see ACDC in the canadian prairies?) He has no choice. Either he goes or they'll fire him.
I am so upset right now. They always walk all over us like that. If I could, I would quit right now and he'd be forced to stay here in this department because I'm the only person left to run it. Unfortunately with just getting a mortgage I can't leave without a backup plan
He just got called to have a talk with our manager.
