so for my current job they’re paying for the hotel during the project. We’re not working next week, because of Thanksgiving, but up until now the implication was that they were going to continue to pay for the hotel until the project was done, and checking out is optional.

Well, just got an email today that I now need to pay for the entire week out of pocket. Which is $600+. This would have been nice to know back when plane tickets were actually fucking affordable.

Emailed them about how my plans were made with the understanding that I would not have to pay, and now I don’t have enough fucking money in my bank account for the hotel or a round trip.

So anyway, I’m fucking quitting unless the response is “So sorry, we are paying.” I don’t give a single solitary fuck about this project anymore. I do not care about how short staffed they are because they only hired ten fucking field techs for a survey that spans thousands of fucking acres. I hope this company goes bankrupt.

They also texted us all yesterday afternoon about how we needed to be ready to work today because we’re going out in the forest!

It’s hunting season. Hunting season literally just started. It’s this entire week. The area we’re surveying encourages hunting. I’m not getting mistaken for a deer and fucking shot in the goddamned Midwest.

So I had to fucking pull up the official government websites saying that it was firearms season and they were like “Oopsie! Didn’t realize!”

And then we found out that it was in our contract anyway that we’re not surveying this week. So they’re just stupid and didn’t think to keep track of the dates where we would be in actual fucking danger if we went out.
