burn in hell cp

I just can't believe how fucked up this place is. Here's the thing. If you fulfil your contract duration with Cedar Point, the company will pay you an additional $1 per hour bonus for every hour that you slog for them.

IF you complete your contract.

And thats a very big if. Quite a few of the locals have told me that CP's got a reputation of getting rid of their employees close to their contract end date so they won't need to pay out the bonus but I kinda took that with a pinch of salt, half believing it because I hate CP but half not because some people do get their bonuses.

Now I believe it 100%

Guess it's my own fault. Should never have mentioned to my manager that I only had 5 days left on my contract. He gave me a surprised look.

'Really?'

'Oh yeah. Believe it.'

*sly smile*

'No it doesn't.....'

I walked out of the office laughing, thinking he was joking. 45 minutes later I get served up a final warning notice for supposedly giving out prizes when the guest didn't win and also making the game easier for guests by knocking cans manually off the platform.

SMLJ!!!!

The thing is the report claimed that I had been tricked by a customer into giving him an extra shot when it was really really busy and gave him a prize by mistake. WTF!! It WAS A SATURDAY!!!! I'm HUMAN!! Mistakes are bound to happen!! There were like a dozen people clamouring to play at any one time and I was running desperately around trying to stack cans up, collect money, pull meter chains and siam flying bean bags all at the same time. On my lonesome!! As for the knocking cans off part, I don't deny I do it. But only for little kids!! They come up to the game and completely miss the target altogether! Whats taking off one can out of 5 for them?!? Some of them can barely even get the bean bags across the space to hit the cans. Whats more, they don't mind if we let kids stand on the counter or give them extra shots and basically just treat them nice. But they mind if I take 1 can out of 5 off?

I guess its a good thing I'm good with my supervisor. He's the one who told me to lie low for a few days because they're trying to find a way to not pay out my bonus. Happened last year and its happening this year. Frikkin hell....

Osama if you're looking for a target, try one with the initials C and P.
