I work as a christmas temp in a respected store, but as a student I am being kicked out of my accomodation for a week over christmas (23-30th) I also have no uni from 23rd to 5th Jan and am supposed to help out with a christmas panto. My boss ahs informed me that I can have christmas day off, then expects me in work on xmas eve, boxing day and new years eve. I wont have accomodation for the first two and am required to be at home for new years eve due to panto. There's no way I can get home for boxing day as there's no trains, so my boss told me to stay in my accomodation over christmas day!! Basically he demanded I stay at uni in order to work for him over christmas. This means I will have no-where to live and will be alone on christmas day. This is my first year as a student and it scares me thinking of christmas alone. What do I do?

Panto is Pantomime, the traditional christmas show and Uni means University like Yale

First what is panto and uni? You must be in the UK? Ok so now that that is out of the way, I would talk my parents. I know that it is a respected store, but you are temporary and you cannot be expected to work under the circumstances, and being that you going to be homeless for a week, as well as be alone for Christmas? What does he expect you to do? I would call him a SCROOGE and just quit. Darling you should be home with your family, not on the street in the cold because of some nasty scrooge like boss! I would just go home and tell him you are quitting! You are putting your personal safety at risk, never mind your health and welfare! Quit that lousy job and go home! Smile there are other stores and jobs! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2008 will be the YEAR!

If you are a temp hired for the holiday season only you will loose your job the first of the year anyway so why stress it. Just work up until you have to leave then tell your boss that you will not be returning and that you did turn in your notice.

provide him a huge cup of ice chips to consume. i these days study a medical doctors column that pronounced it particularly works extra applicable than cough syrup. If that would not artwork, blend up some Hersey's cocoa and a few drops of water and tension feed him!! that's a sturdy treatment too. extra desirable than possibly the cough is brought about via hypersensitive reactions, so make him an appointment with a physician and have each and every person interior the place of work insist he retains it. for my area, I drink lemon water all day. The lemon cuts that drainage and the vit c ,of direction ,is robust for colds and hypersensitive reactions. sturdy success, i understand that's demanding! via the way, my boss is my husband , so i'm heavy exceeded assertive with him.

People only push you as far as you let them. Let him know when you are available to work, but tell him he's/she's being unreasonable in his/her demands.
You also have to ask yourself is this job worth it? I know as a student you need the money, but you can't let him run over you like this.
Tell your boss will be going home on Christmas Eve after work & you will return as soon as you can for your next shift.
Or you can tell him to shove it!
Good Luck! :o)

Find someone to replace your shift. If he has a problem with that then you shouldn't be working there or you can report him to higher ups. I know people still think Wal-marts a great store but they do this to their employees all the time as well, if they can't have common decency don't work for them. I'm sure you could find a better job somewhere else.

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I notice a remote control for a television set in her purse.
"Do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked.
"No," she replied. "But my husband refused to come shopping with me, so I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him."
