And My MFF Trip Turned Into A Post Vacation Hell

“My past is not a memory, it’s a force at my back. It pushes and steers. I may not always like where it leads me, but like any story the past needs resolution. What’s past, is prologue.”
Super frustrated right now.
So I went on vacation to Chicago last month to MFF, was approved by my manager to use 4 days of my paid vacation to do it...it never got applied to the check it was supposed to be reflected in, which deposited on the 13th. Come to find out that instead of the store manager just approving it and applying it like its always been, Corporate changed it and made it so I have to apply for it, get it approved by the store manager and his boss before it comes back to me and I see the money for it...so my check on the 13th was super short and between that, the need for food and paying my utilities I was left with practically nothing...I think I had $15 ish left.
So my boss wanted to make sure that I got that money, so what he did is took the schedule, went in with me and applied for that on 4 of my days off during the two weeks for the check that was deposited today and 8 hours sick time, so basically 40 hours between the two (I got really sick a early in the pay period so he had me use 8 hours sick time to make up for it, again so I wouldn't get behind) so that he could approve it and get his boss to approve of it. Great on him! he approved it as soon as it showed up on his end.
payday hit...it wasn't in my check. I basically got shorted about $410 or so. I only got a 520 check...it should have been probably about a $930 check. this is not good. I don't have enough for rent now, I cant pay my $50 phone bill and I have practically no food.
I have no words for how irritated and worried I am. And apparently separate from that, I'm not the only one that got shorted on their pay. I don't know what in the world payroll is doing but they are really putting me in jeopardy of losing my place to live. I don't even know what to do.
And people wonder why I'm trying to sell my crochet projects on etsy. Well there's why...because I don't work for a company that has a shred of reliability.
I don't know what the fuck Im supposed to do now.

Loads of money just burning away as had to replace essential and pretty-much essential stuff all at same time. Now having to plan a move and hoping that doesn't lead to more issues...
Here's hoping 2019 will be a lot kinder to us both in balance. <3
