Asked my manager why my Sunday admin shift got cut. It was because one really silly paper wasting process became redundant. Yay to saving paper. Now they should make everything else digital. The company prints so much paper that just gets thrown in the bin, and no one gives a shit or wants to fix it.
I'm kind of sad to lose my guarantees $150 a week that required me to date stamp pieces of paper and enter invoices into the computer. But it is what it is.
I detest that saying. It encourages feelings of hopelessness and inaction.
Ask your manager if there is other work you can do.
Me too but I have tried to embrace it. I do get other shifts but they can't give me consistency. It is a casual job after all. Time to get a new job!
I think that's called radical acceptance. ๐
