They (a restaurant) cut my hours to 1 day & 1 night (economy). I got hired at a banquet place-strictly weekends-great money. I need to tell my current employer I can't work weekends (sometimes they will use me as a fill in, for a party, or as a bartender, but I can't count on it).
Should I tell them I got another job? If I do, they might even cut my hours more. I am trying to weigh the pros & cons of telling & not telling. Any advice?
Hiding Your Job Search From Your Current Employer::
So this got me thinking about how I would proceed with hiding a job search of my try to backpedal or lie your way out of being caught searching for another job.

Also a girl i work with knows about the new job- she could tell (space cadet)
Yea you have to tell them
Ohterwise it will get ackward
Like cause what if you have to work on the same day at the same hours
Didn't think of that did you lol
So yes tell them
Yes, otherwise if you keep just saying "no' when they ask you to work weekends you'll just look unreliable. Its none of their business if you got a second job to help since they cut your hours back any way...
I like Ellelle's answer - tell your first employer you can't work weekends, but if they need someone on short notice, you will fill in if you don't have work that weekend.
LinkedIn and Your Job Search::
Steve told me, I regularly get headhunters or recruiters with small startup on LinkedIn, including employment (current and past), education, industry, and

As for cutting your hours, they can't really cut you back much more anyways.
I would, couldn't hurt since you already have your hours lowered down so much. Damn, everyone is hurting, i'm part time too!!
They cut you to 1 day and 1 night, do you really think they will be surprised and offended that you got another job?
If you don't tell them, you could burn the bridge and lose both the job and a reference. If they schedule you weekends and you call in sick or no show...you become undependable and a liability.
If you are straight up and say, hey I like working here. Your inability to provide a schedule with steady hours has caused me to require a second job. In order to maintain a position with you, I require some flexibility in return from you. I will work weekends when not scheduled at my other job, and still be happy to pick up shifts during the week.
One thing I would caution you on - don't overpromise your employer and then not deliver. It might sour them on the deal. If you are only able to committ to a maximum number of hours / week - make it clear to them straight up. The relationship will go alot smoother. ~ luck!
 My co-worker just screwed me!?
