A Predicament

Ok so I just finished training for my 3 night a week hostessing job at a restaurant in my town and they’ll probably be putting me on the schedule soon. But how do I let them know that I’m not gonna be available for the next 2 weekends. I also really don’t want to have to lie. I would rather just tell them that I’ve had these tickets to Gathering of the Vibes and Camp Bisco for awhile and they were summer trip I was planning on.

What should I do? Should I contact them right away and let them know, or should I wait for them to call me to see my availability and then tell them?

be honest with them. I wouldn’t tell them EXACTLY what you’re doing, but say you have a family trip planned and you’ve had the plans all summer.

#3

I would of told them upfront when you were training, but too late now. I agree as a manager to many people be honest and offer to make it up in the following weekends if possible.

#4

Tell them ASAP.

You should have put it on your application or told them before training, but that… yeah whatever.

Tell them that you have had this planned and that you will pick up shifts in the future, etc.

Have fun!

ok well i just had to talk to my manager anyway, since I need to train longer and get used to this job, and I casually let her know that I’m gonna be away the next 2 weekends. and I think that worked…
