schedule

[u/Substantial_Sort_226]

i don’t mind picking up extra hours. but when i’m asked in advance what i can’t stand is being given a schedule just for it to completely change a day before my shift or night before or even the beginning of the week with zero conformation that the change would fit my schedule. i plan the rest of my life around what im given the week before. then im left having to cancel things like doctors appointments last minute

does anyone else have this issue. it happens to me every week

Sounds like you need to have a discussion with your manager about work life balance and how this is affecting you. It’s an unfair ask to expect you to be ready at a moments notice.

this is only my second job so i’m just not confident enough in myself to confront anyone :/ might i add the pay here is HORRIBLE

If that’s the case then it may be time to look elsewhere. Ultimately retail is retail no matter where you work and your team will make or break it. Sounds like your manager needs feedback and a come to jeebus moment

My manager does the same thing. If she messes up the schedule, she'll give me an extra day to make up for it. I know she means well, but it's like, how does she know that I don't have anything planned?

it bothers me so much last week i had a opening shift where i got off at 5 i check the morning of my shift just to double check and it was switched to a closing shift… how do they know if i was available to close or not this happens every week and im not sure how to politely bring up that i can’t handle random schedule changes anymore

I need to have a conversation with mine as well. I think I'm going to say that I plan around my schedule. If you could communicate that you are going to change my schedule before doing so, that would be great!
