One of our worker was sick yesterday. She called us up at 9am in the morning, when her shift only starts at 5pm to inform us that she was sick and can’t come to work. Although i appreciate the enthusiasm, I do not appreciate that she woke my brat up at 9am when she had only gone to bed at 2.30am the nite before.

Anyhow, we have 3 part-timers and no one was able to fill in shift. What a bummer! So my poor brat had to suffer with us.. and we had to change all our plans for yesterday.

This evening, the same worker called the store again and informed my other worker that she wouldn’t be able to work again tomorrow.. and we made sure.. that she know not to call us at home at 9am by calling her first at her home.

The joys of owning your own business eh..??

It had been a busy two days for us at the store and alot of running around and making sure that we have enough workers to work tomorrow for we are off to a wedding.
My spouse is the official photographer.
With the freaky incident that happen 2 days ago.. we were kinda taken aback by the attitude of most ppl that work for us. But this time, things are gonna be different because we nipped the problem at its bud.. so to say.
We will not allow ourselves to be door-mats.. we are flexible but there is a limit and a clear line drawn. If the workers donch like it .. too bad for them. Boo hoo hoo..!
We have to keep reminding ourselves that workers are hired to help us and not the other way around.
In the past, we have allowed our workers to get away with murder but from this day forth, we promise ourselves that it will not happen again.
Time we smarten up…eh..!
