/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

>Be manager at seasonal costuming store that's only going to be open for a few months
>The last manager over-scheduled nearly 100 work hours before getting fired
>Holy shit
>Clean the schedule up, realize we have way too many employees
>Each employee only gets like, 20 hours a week under a correctly put together schedule
>Cut my own hours, put in lunch breaks, do everything I can to give all the employees more hours
>Start getting angry calls from employees "Hey, I had loads of hours before now! What's going on?"
>Tell them honestly that there will be more hours as we get closer to the holidays
>Some take it well, others flip their shit and literally scream at me
>Sinking sensation as I realize I'm going to have to put my foot down and tell them that I'm their fucking boss and if they want more hours they need to get their shit in line
>Who the fuck screams at their boss when they aren't looking to get fired anyway, seriously?

I'm not going to reward their shitty behavior by giving them more hours, I'm going to try to give them to people who were nice and understanding about the situation. I just don't like being screamed at.

I'd like to get my cosplay done, but I've been being called into work suddenly so much it's been tough. I haven't been able to even have dinner with my fiance for a couple weeks.
