I'm a college student who was looking for a summer job and contacted a summer theater.The artistic director offered me $300/week to run sound.This would mean for rehearsals & shows,no more than standard 40 hr. work week.The contract I was actually sent was for $275/week as sound technician/scenic painter,with no mention of hours.I was wary,but signed it.
On my first day of work I was told that I would be working whenever the technical director wanted me to.For the first 2 weeks this meant 6 days/week,8 hrs/day. I wasn't happy with another change, but was ok with an extra 8 hrs.Next they tell me no more days off & work 9-midnight.Then my bf was in a very bad car wreck & I took 3 days off to be at the hospital & take care of him,& I need to take another 3 days to get him home.My boss freaked & screamed at me for 20 min on the phone,calling me lazy,underhanded,&ungrateful.
I hate the pay,ridiculous hours,unreasonable boss,& I need time for my bf & my sister who is sick.Quit now?
