Default work dilemma...

So my front desk manager just called and left me a voicemail asking me to come in to work 2 hours early tonight, so I'd be working a 10 hour shift. The guy that was supposed to work the 2nd shift called in sick so I guess she's been there since 7 this morning.

I'm kind of torn however. On one hand, I always try to be a reliable and hard worker. On the other hand, I can't stand the bitch. She's only been at our hotel for about 6 weeks and she sucks. She's absolutely terrible. How in the hell she ever got a management job is beyond me. She expects us to pick up the slack when she herself isn't flexible 99% of the time. Plus she's very unprofessional and talks negatively about everyone that works there and expects us not to find out about it? :eh:

So should I be a good employee and go in early, or say screw it and just pretend like I never got her message. h:

I get this alot where I work.

They can't force you to come in but not coming in to help can (but shouldn't, obviously) affect negatively on you.

I say do it if you have nothing better to do. Look at it as getting yourself some overtime and not helping the manager...

PS, 10 hour shifts are nothing :rofl:

Hey, I've worked a 12 hour shift before. :wtc: The thing that really sucks is that my fiancee doesn't get home from work at the hospital until 8 o'clock tonight, which means zero time to spend together. She works at the hotel part-time as well and dislikes our manager even more than I do. But she's also a really good employee. I'm sure she'd probably go in if they called her but she'd be just as irritated as I am.

I don't mind picking up the extra hours as much as the fact that I like knowing that she's stuck at work until I show up.
