I came into work today and checked the schedule for August to see what Saturday I was scheduled to work. I was pretty sure it was the 23rd because I already had my holiday Saturday schedule set for the year. Well, when I looked at the schedule I saw that they had me down for the 30th - which is Labor Day weekend. I immediately emailed my supervisor to see what was up and apparently my holiday schedule doesn't come into play with this new temporary position so unless I can get someone to switch with me, I'm stuck working the 30th. I'm so freaking pissed off. Had I known that I was going to have to work an extra holiday weekend, I would have turned down this temporary assignment. Fucking bullshit!
Update: I'm no longer pissed off. A girl at work is going to switch Saturday's with me so I will be working the 23rd as I originally thought I would be. All is well in the world once more.

When I first started working full time at the radio station I got scheduled to work Thanksgiving Day 5 years in a row. I used to be the boss at a hospital and just like a radio station it had to be staffed 24/7. I used to keep track of who had to work the holiday one year so they would get the next one off. I thought the radio station would be the same way.
After I was scheduled for the 5th year in a row, I complained to the guy who worked the shift before me and he asked, "Did you ask for it off?" I said I hadn't and he said unless you did, you would be scheduled to work.
So the next year I requested it off and the boss told me I was too late, that the guy before me had already asked.
My job did that to me once. I wish they would have told you your vacation doesnt come into play before accepting the temp assignment.
