QQ worst poster ever.
He's always been a huge whiner.
Whaaa! My marriage!
Whaaa! My alimony!
Whaaa! My child support!
Whaaa! My job!
It's friggen endless, no wonder he is always whining for a nanny state. He needs to be told what to do because he thinks his life won't suck then. 
While I agree with your annoyance, I disagree with your retarded politics and hyper zionism.

Well it sounds like he is doing a lot to accommodate you already. There are small facets of the restaurant industry that includes weird shifts and hours sometimes. I find it really easy to understand that things like this will come up in a small town? Random double shifts due to call outs are a fact of life, especially so in a small town atmosphere where there just isn't a big list of employees to call on. Life happens, it can't be perfectly plotted out on a schedule every week. Get over it.
accommodate me really I have a 8-4 availability monday-friday and open on the weekends.
and no I wont pick up extra hours, just so you can cut my hours the following week so I loose the overtime. last monday started a new pay period.
I am on a 2 week 80hr pay schedule, so the only way I can get overtime is to work more than 80 hrs in a 2 week period.
Thats a "free-will or right to work state" for yah.
You aren't entitled to overtime just because you 'pick up a shift'. You are just getting your hours in a manner different from your schedule. It happens. Its not perfect but you should be happy that you even make 13.50/hr doing something you love in "BFE", which for 22k population, isn't really.

you are missing my point, I have 40hrs in this week and by staying late I should get overtime for this week but not in this state, what will happen is the following week because its in the same pay period, I would see my hours cut to stay under 80 hrs for the 2 weeks.

You would do well in a union.
You're lazy, constantly complain, and think the world owes you something.

You need to work your way into the management sector of the restaurant biz for a while, if you already haven't, to see first hand how fast overtime pay MELTS your profits. Try being the manager the makes the same each week whether he works 20 or 60 hours that week, and ends up having to work 60 hours a week to keep the costs down? Hell I wouldn't be surprised if the 'GM' is working your shifts for FREE to keep from having to pay you $20/hr to watch BBQ smoke.

I don't care how often you get paid, unless you are salaried and make at least $455 a week you got time and a half for anything over 40 hours in one week. If they are not complying they are subject to be sued somewhere down the line.

what I earn and a few other cooks is raises passed out by the district manager shortly after the store was opened. this gm was in training for the first 4-5 months.
if it was up to him, no body would be earning more than $10 per hour, however top rate for cooks is $20 per hour, and company average is $13.42 a hour.
The last few hires where starting at $8 per hour.
I know how much gm's make and I read the monthly newsletter which shows the rankings of all the stores and gives percentages and values, and my store is always in the top 5 in lowest labor cost.
this store ranks in the top 5-10 stores every month in about every category that means something.
I was management before in a different industry, I know all about performance bonuses and how they are earned.
