I even drew a picture to go with…

This was just my morning purge. I actually had a couple of decent work hours before my supervisor shared some really disturbing news with me.

Apparently, my so called leaders in administration have no problem with adding more burden to the shoulders of those already dealing with too much. In addition to dealing with a public facing job in a pandemic, fill in teacher for schoolwork, no life work balance (ha!), now I just get to lose a bunch of work hours. My branch is going to a Tuesday through Saturday schedule. And even though admin promised to help workers who can’t work Saturdays to be placed at different branches (we have 27 altogether), this is now off the table for some reason. So basically, if I can’t work Saturdays at my branch, I’m out 8 hours of work a week. (Meanwhile, some lucky library personnel are permitted to work remotely…)

Ironically, we just had to do a mandatory training in the county related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. Ha!
