What Is The Bloody Schedule For?

Proving my point right about people not being able to change fast enough, and that bad habits are surfacing, the person once again didn't bother to note the shift changes for the day. The shock when the person found out I was leaving for the day, that I was scheduled to just the middle of lunch, just let me know how much this person bothers about what's happening during work.

How can you wonder when you'll actually be promoted out of your trainee position later than some other outlet's staff when you don't even bother about the most basic thing - to know who you're working with. The thing is, you don't even plan the schedule. Do you trust your superior not to make a mistake and under-staff for the shift? What would happen if, after the emergency reshuffling, the person replacing someone on an earlier shift, was not replaced with another later, and you were left to close by yourself? So maybe there are a lot more eyes looking at the schedule and might point out any problems, but what if a time comes when everyone's attitude changed like yours and no one bothers about the schedule at all? Won't it be a little too late to learn that knowing the staffing for the day is more important that talking with the milkman and negotiating when he will deliver his products?

Maybe it's time you and your slumbering attitude got a wake up call?
