Those of you whose restaurant is open Christmas Eve or even Christmas Day, is it fair that people with kids get priority scheduling and first dibs on having the day off?

I'm glad we don't do that here. I would be livid. Christmas Eve is our third busiest night of the year. Everyone is working.

Yes, and it’s usually managers with more money that have kids. It’s like a life style optic I swear.

Nobody will admit it, but that is 100% what happens where I work. Those with kids always, year after year, have the holidays off. I have family I like to see too!

Nope. Not having kids doesn’t mean I don’t have a life or family that wants to see me. PTO should be first come, first serve period. Kids should not factor into it.

Definitely not. All people should have equal access to their family and friends, regardless of parental status, it would be unfair to individuals who make a choice to not have children and allow those who did to get “dibs” on scheduling

I don’t think it’s fair. There should be equal opportunity. To me it feels like ppl and smoke breaks. I had a boss tell me once that I couldn’t take a few minutes here and there for fresh air. So I started bringing in honey sticks. I’d take a break right after my smoking co worker. If the boss came out to say anything I’d stick the honey sticks in my mouth.

No. My policy is , the first to request off gets the time off. If people wait too long, they get told no. Children on not.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?

Check the overtime laws for your state!!

I just recently worked 58.6 hours in a week, weekly pay, nice OT profit right? Depends on where you live.

In Iowa, there is no Overtime pay mandate, the overtime pay is at the discretion of the business. I received 58.6 hours of base pay for the week.

If the company makes less than $1 million per year or does not engage in intercontinental sales, the company is not required to pay the overtime rate of time and a half, just your base rate.
