I don't understand why people misrepresent themselves so much. I took a job yesterday as a receptionist at a dentists office. There was a space on the application that talked about the hours of the job like this "our office is open 7:30am to 7:30pm during the week, and 7:30 am to 1:30pm on Saturdays. Shifts are from 7:30am to 1:30pm and 1:30pm to 7:30pm. Every employee must work 2-3 nights a week or 2-3 Saturdays a month. Would these hours be a problem for you?" I said no, of course. Then, when interviewed, the doctor asked me how I felt about 12 hour days, to which I responded "Well, I worked 10 hour shifts at the salon." He then proceeded to say the same thing as the application and made it sound like, occasionally, one might need to work a 12 hour shift. I figured this was okay. Then, today, on my first day, I asked the receptionists how the schedule generally works, and they said they work 12 hour shifts 2 to 3 times a week and then have 3 days off. So... I don't think THIS job is going to work either. Because it's only 36 hours a week, and it's the same I was getting paid. Which really wasn't that much, considering. It just really irritates me because that is NOT how it was on the application, and NOT how he made it sound. At all. When the application said "nights" it certainly didn't denote 12 hours a day... it denoted a 1:30-7:30 shift. I'm not that big of an idiot, am I?
Which really sucks, because I really thought this was going to work out.
