Okay so I work at a hotel and I've only been working here for about 3 months now...I came to work at this hotel from another hotel that I worked at for almost 2 years. I work at the front desk and I'm very good at what I do, but this is just a temporary position until I finish college. At my old job, I was use to working during the day 7:00am-3:00pm and having my evenings and nights free so when I came to this new job I was accepting a position that was mostly evenings 3:00pm-11:00pm. I knew that up front when I applied for it and I was told in the interview that I would be mostly working 3-11. I thought everything was agreed upon then so I had been working here for about a month and a half and never missed a day, always on time, doing everything that is asked of me to show that I am a good employee and dependable... Then my boss comes up to me and says that the guy who fills in and works the overnight shift 2 days a week is getting burned out on it and would like a break from doing it for awhile and she asked if i'd like to pick those 2 days up a week to get some extra hours and meet my goal of 40 hours a week.... I was hesitant because I had never worked anywhere overnight before and the thought seemed a little scary being by myself overnight but after some thought, I was like hey it's only 2 days a week and I can handle that.... so I told my boss that I would do that for awhile- okay so almost 2 months later, i'm still doing it... and I absolutely hate this shift more than anything.... Plus the girl who works the overnight shift full time was out with mono 2 weeks ago for a whole week so I was asked to work the overnight shift all week that week which I agreed to, then I had my wisdom teeth and I've been sick so I've not been getting sleep and i'm definately not feeling well at all but I still come to work everyday- no problems. The other night the girl that works the overnight shift full time tells me she's having some personal issues that she is having a hard time dealing with and she's been crying in the boss's office and all this stuff.... then I come in today and look at the schedule and i'm on the schedule this week working 4 overnight shifts!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooooo pissed off!!!!!!!!! I hate this shift- there are always a bunch of creepo's running around in the middle of the night, guys hitting on me, and i'm here by myself with not protection... I hate it! It completely gives me the creeps working this shift. In the beginning I agreed to working this shift 2 nights a week and working my regular shift 3 nights a week... I feel like i'm kinda being taken advantage of because I wont tell them no.... How can I approach this subject with my boss without seeming like I am whining or just complaining??? I mean at first I was only suppose to be working this shift to give this other guy a break for a little while- now I've been doing it for almost 2 months- now it's not just 2 days a week, it changes all the time without even giving me a notice of it- sometimes I work my regular week, sometimes I have to work 4 freaking overnight shifts in a row- It really really sucks!!!! Can someone please help me???? PLEASE???
