It's more than money. I'd need an extra set of hands to cover me, a set that's trained on our menu and able to feed over 1200 people, as I don't work a line, I work banquets, parties and wedding ect

Nuance. I keep pleasing for it. Not everyone can be at every protest.

So yes, as I said, it kills me to not be there, but like many people, I'm literally not in a position to

Your workplace has 2 weeks to find someone to cover that shift. Tell them to look into a contracting agency and grab a person for a day. What's your cashapp?

Two weeks isn't enough time to train someone to handle over 1200 people and our menu. I do not work a conventional kitchen, as I already said.

Stop acting like it's a simple solution just because you think you can throw money at me. You're just compounding how shitty I already feel about being in a situation I cannot control.

Back off. I make it to meetings and protests when I can and have stated multiple times I can't this time, and you are being completely obstuse about it.

I'm not American and don't really understand your system. What I would like to say is, being in a situation where you can't get a day off or be sick (because thats the same problem) is not healthy. I hope you find a job where you can actually take a personal day once in a while.

Welcome to America. That is the reality most people are under.

If you don't understand our system you shouldn't be telling me what to do about it.

I can get days off. I have plenty during slow season. I have sick days. You need to stop acting like you know more about my situation than you do.

I cannot reschedule this day. There's too many people and it's too short of notice

I'm proud of my job and the work I've put into it. I love it.

Back. Off.

I wasn't even the person you where arguing with and I was actually trying be nice, but you chose to be an asshole...

Have fun in your third world country, I hope you don't have kids, because not being able to take a day off when your kid is sick sounds really fucking terrible
