    Problem started a few months ago when we got a new technician, who is Quarian (shocking). When she was hired my hours fell from 40 a week to a little over 20 hours a week. At first it didn't bother me, however when I asked her why, she explained "It's because the ship is too quiet." The fuck?

    Ever since then, she's hired over five new aliens, all of who are Quarian and have more hours than me. Two work fulltime in the engine room.

    Legally speaking, can I shoot any of them?

    Use the extra free time you have since your hours were cut to look around for another job. At the same time raise the issue with HR and mention that the manager has misplaced you original application.

    Also ask the HR dept. for a copy of your contract/terms of employment.

    Good luck to you, seriously. Doing the same. I'm in college which makes it even harder because I have a restricted schedule. Finding places that are willing to hire me based around my schedule and not theirs is slim to abso-fucking-lutely nothing. Even finding a job if you are available 24/7 is difficult.

    Right? I can't work mornings, its impossible since I have class most days on avg. from 8 til at least 10 am. NOT so bad, but most places just look at my application and meh.

    Hell I've even tried applying to other McDonald's, and nada. Swear to Christ man. If I were Mexican I'd get a job np... should just say I'm Mexican. I mean I could pass off as one anyway.

    Just wear a sombrero into where you wanna get hired, guaranteed first response:

    HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT PER HOUR?!

    (Edit: I realize mexicans don't wear sombreros everywhere, calm down everyone. )

    The hell you talking about, I take my Stetson everywhere I go, even do the tip of the hat to the ladies and shit.

    Anyway, if you're a student w/ a shitty schedule, your best bet is to check your university/college for a job since they are super flexible. The pay ain't bad either; I was getting $16 bucks per hour just sitting' on my ass browsing BG. ;o

    Edit: Oh yeah, I should mention community colleges pay more than a university ($8 bucks lol, fts) for some reason.

    At JMU I tried getting a job and it's the same way here. Like every kid on campus applies for every single job, and the only way you get in is if you know the kid who does the hiring, because even the "hiring associates" are kids that are our own age. So it's all favoritism...


    I might have to break, and ask my friend who serves dinner at Duke's Cafe' to see if she can get me in. :/

    Clearly the only logical solution is for us two to get married, have about 20 kids, and just claim them as dependents for to get that cash money, yo. I bet that's why Mexicans have like 8 babies on average.

    No offense, Mexicans. But fuck, I just want my hours back.

    Punch that fucker in the mouth, that's the closest he'll get to understanding your english. Then, go above him and explain.
