    here's my problem:
    my work has scheduled me for next week. i have had a vacation request in for 1 year. i have $3000 invested in a trip to indy for the f1 race. They dont want to give me the time off because the other manager at this place(who has senority) is going to a last minute bacholer party. the funny part about that is they denied me time off next month to go to my brothers bacholer party because the other manager wants to go on vacation. :eat:
    so would you tell them to f#*k off and quit -or- not show and hope you dont get fired and if you do collect unemployment
    either way it would be the first time i have had weekends off in 5 years.
    p.s. i work 70-80 hours a week for these guys. bust my balls and work anything and everything they ask of me. with no overtime and few raises.
    p.s.s can i use the fact that in order to get enough hours to survive, i had to sign a form saying i would get no o.t. unless it was over 8 hrs in one dept?

    Sounds like a bum deal. I'd be pissed.
    There's too many variables that I know nothing about to give you my opinion. What do you do for a living? Can you quit and go somewhere else and make the same $$? Will unemployment even come close to your salary?
    Sorry to hear you're going through this crap.
    Good luck

    Sounds like what I'm going through right now. Everytime I want to relax on the weekend I get called in. The only good thing is I get O.T. no matter what. Damn it's a tough call. I got laid off from my last job for the same thing though. I was there for 6 years busting my a$$ for them, 60-80 hour work weeks, and doing the last minute business trips. I got burned out, I couldn't take it anymore. I took the time I request off anyways and two weeks later they laid me off. I collected for 2 months while I looked for another job and relaxed a bit. Now I have a better paying job in a better enviorment but I'm still working last minute overtime on the weekends..... I hate being dependable. :notam:

    I work at a golf course as a banquet manager/bartender/building maintence/sales/everthing. i can quit and get a job w/ my brother as a courier making more or less the same. i am only 23 and i guess i could move back in w/ my mom. it would save me $1500 a month in rent.
    i should move in with her and collect unemployment and just chill at the lake for a month :rollside:

    Shoot, if you can kick back at the lake for a month and collect then do it. Take the time off. Don't burn yourself out at a job where your not being treated fairly.

    That changes everything then.
    Seriously, I'd have a heart to heart with your boss before you do anything. Let him know what's going through your head and how you're feeling about this whole deal.
    If you quit, no unemployment. If you get fired you can collect unemployment, but, the firing will look bad on your resume. If you choose to get fired and just not put this job on any other applications or resume,there will be a blank period in your work history. Tough call. Only you can make the decision that's best for you.
    Banqeut managers and bartenders can usually get hired easily if you have a good history.

    You have the law on yourside. Call the labor board...if they lay you off, you will get a lot more than unemployment. :coffeycup
    I actually got a company shut down for vacation time. Labor board showed up and pad locked the door. They fired me later on an "unrelated" charge and I cleaned up.
