Welcome to PC. Wow, you have quite a situation there that I can see how difficult it could be for you and the others as well.

I'm curious, are you a supervisor over these other employees? Does it state in everyone's job description that hours are dictated by the events that are planned and can change at any given moment? Were all the employees well aware of that situation when they took their position?

I find it pretty rotten and unacceptable that your supervisor didn't take a stand with everyone to say what was expected. If indeed you are not a supervisor over the others in your office, then it's not fair that she dumped it in your lap to deal with. There certainly are times when things like this happen and at most, the supervisor needs to stand up and delegate. If you are not their supervisor, then I think you were put into a very difficult position from the get go. (by your fellow employees as well).

Just because you are a type-a personality and you put forth much effort in your job does not make you the problem. Unfortunately, not everyone in the work place will have that same kind of "gung-ho" mentality and they may put their families and own time higher than you do on their lists....and that's ok too. But there has to be some meeting of the minds or some good strong leadership from your supervisor to help quell the situation.

I'm sorry you all had to go through that. I'm sure it was very stressful and difficult. Maybe there needs to be a meeting with your supervisor and everything brought to the table....talking about it can bring resolve and maybe even some new direction. I hope this can happen for you.

Wishing you well.
