Were i work, THE LA JOLLA BEACH AND TENNIS CLUB, in california, they dont care about us employees they are just looking for a way to make us quit and or to fire us. The managers, excecutives and owners are still making the same if not more while they are cutting our hours and even days which after three quarters of not working enough hours, we get booted down to part time employees and we loose some of our benefits if not all of them. I just wish that some one will take the hard working people seriously.
