I mean... do you want a decent job, or do you for some reason want to have one of THEIR good jobs to somehow prove a point to... who exactly? Because you ain't never going to get the satisfaction you want working for those assholes. All they will GIVE you is misery. Ream them up one side and down the other and go back for seconds, then move on. Even if you win there, you lose. |

Employers can treat people like shit and get away with it if you don't have a union. - Are the other bartenders younger? - If you can afford it, go to a different lab and get your own test, so that you can dispute the results your employer got. |

Tinfoil Couture User ID: 53671501 United States 05/27/2014 11:57 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hi Miggy...sorry you're having such crap luck. It sounds to me like they're trying to get rid of you. Are they only putting younger employees into the better-paying positions? If so, they're probably using the dilated eye thing as a CYA. In case you sue for age discrimination, they can come back that you're a druggie and deserved to be fired. Or maybe I'm way off base. Either way, I hope things get better for you.

In that case, they wouldn't want you to work a busy bar in case you were unable to keep up with the orders. The way they're going about this is just wrong though. |

The Tribes do not have to follow U.S. Law, they operate under a Tribal Government for policy decisions. The Tribes, like U.S. Government are highly politically charged entities FULL of petty Megalomaniac type personalities. The ONLY way to combat this type of Employer is to make this situation a Public Record, and or a Media Event, if you can? Even then you will be blacklisted from EVERY single Casino everywhere. Be careful, there is not much you can do about this. |

You can hold on to it until you find a better job.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 56468536 United States 05/27/2014 02:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a drug test when I was taking Fioricet for migraines. The lab tech nurse called me at home to ask who prescribed it, how long I had taken it, what for, etc. She pressured me to go for drug couseling (LOL I am no addict) but all this happened BEFORE they notified my employer. And when they did, they included the information I had given them that I was legally prescribed that med. The employer never said a word. I don't know if there are different laws but that was in Florida about 10 years ago. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 56322680 United States 05/27/2014 04:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I have no idea the situation with your work, but suggest looking at the employee handbook, or guidelines, something like that and seeing if you're in violation of anything by taking RX medication at work. Perhaps theres a clause starting if such medication impares your ability to do your job you could be fired or given warning. I can't imagine it is against company rules to take RX meds as directed by DR unless specifically noted in the rules. As for the placement youve been given, if I were you I'd invite my friends to the bar you work to draw up some more costumers. If you have no friends willing to visit, then you need to market yourself and your little bar by the reception desk better. Try dressing up in costume or pulling some kind of hook to get people to come to your little bar section. Work what you got and show them the skills you have aquired through your experience. Can't you Tom Cruise cocktail it and throw stuff in the air? Don't give up, don't quit until you've got a new job or are fired. Don't let them get you down. You've been throw too much to let some young punks bully you out of there. |

You made three huge mistakes and they are pretty silly to have made... You quit your first job and trained your replacement before you were sure you even had a job...and you acually liked it. 2nd, you obviously didn't scope out the bars and other possible assignments prior to applying...you just assumed you'd meet all the qualifications for the type of bar you though you deserve to work at...(huge mistake) 3rd, you begged for any job, they gave you one, to be nice, and then instead of putting in some real work and hustling some tip money and showing these bosses that you are capable of selling drinks to people standing in the check in/check out line, you show up and talk shit to someone else and they ,unlike you, recognized that they needed to hustle for there tips at this bar and had you removed from the equation and probably took your 5 to 7 dollars in tips and is happier than you about it... I would have taken that desk-bar spot and tried to turn it into the place to get a drink...I would have had people telling their friends to go see dude at the check in bar...he's a trip and makes killer drinks...tell him what you like and he kills it...etc... instead you get yourself all caught up in drama looking like a drugged out complaining middle aged prude...who talks shit to boot... |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 2275678 United States 05/27/2014 06:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am sorry you are so upset Miggy. I don't think this job is worth becoming reliant on Xanax. It is not. If this job is the cause of your need for this type of medication then find another one. It sounds like they are trying to get rid of you and by that I mean- trying to force you to quit. Try to make them let you go so you can get unemployment while looking for a new job. Pretty funny that an Indian Casino would give a shit about employees on medication. LOL! Don't let this break your self confidence. It is not worth the disturbance in your peace to try to fight this or to work there at all. If you have an Iggy's near you- they offer good benefits and have a nice bar and restaurant. Upper class clients who tip well. Maybe there are other restaurant's with bars in them like TGIF Fridays around? I have had friends work at these sorts of places and they made good money. Good luck sweetie. Sometimes you just have to say fuck it. |
