My boss at the theatre treats me like I am important. I am one of the first [if not the first] called to work for his own company, not affiliated with the theatre. He gives me great praise, and is always giving me important feedback about work.
HOWEVER:
The big boss above him I don’t think cares about me. I have ONCE AGAIN not been paid for a large portion of hours I worked. I was VERY close to just not showing up to work today in protest. I decided that I care too much about the position that would leave my co-workers in, and have come in anyway.
With no check, with talking to the big boss and the responce being LITERALLY “I’m not getting involved” and this not being a one time thing, I think it’s about time I leave the theatre. I can’t deal with it. I have bills to pay, and need to keep my life together. Supportive friends and family are not enough to live on. Working a job I happen to love and believe in is not enough if it keeps me from paying bills. I don’t know what I’ll end up doing, but I’ll keep you all posted.
