My job doesn’t give a shit about my life or time

I’ve been working at a retail job for about 2 months and am currently 31 weeks pregnant. I didn’t disclose that I was pregnant in the interview so I’m sure my GM was a bit annoyed when I told him but I was extremely clear about the amount of hours I was looking to work and that I am in school/also have a 1 yr old so my availability is not open. When filling out my initial availability sheet I let the hiring manager know that it would be my current availability but my next school term would be starting at the end of June so it would be changing. She said that was fine and that I would just need to update it. I also wrote on the sheet that I was only looking to work 20-25hours/week, same as I said in my interview. When I had locked in…


I’ve been working at a retail job for about 2 months and am currently 31 weeks pregnant. I didn’t disclose that I was pregnant in the interview so I’m sure my GM was a bit annoyed when I told him but I was extremely clear about the amount of hours I was looking to work and that I am in school/also have a 1 yr old so my availability is not open. When filling out my initial availability sheet I let the hiring manager know that it would be my current availability but my next school term would be starting at the end of June so it would be changing. She said that was fine and that I would just need to update it. I also wrote on the sheet that I was only looking to work 20-25hours/week, same as I said in my interview. When I had locked in my classes I immediately spoke with my GM and let him know I needed to update my availability so he had someone show me how. I went on the computer at work, updated it and went on my way. As the next schedulers starting coming out I was being consistently scheduled out of my availability even though it was accepted, and also being scheduled way more than 25 hours. I brought this up to a different manager who had a hand in scheduling and he had me write down again my correct availability and the amount of hours I wanted to work. In the following days my GM called me into the office and let me know for some reason the computer had reverted back to my old availability and that’s why it was getting screwed up. I understood, we fixed it together and I let him know I would need a hard cap at 25 hours. I thought everything was taken care of. Well last week I got my new schedule for 2 weeks out and was schedule 29 hours over a span of 5 days. Extremely irritated I talked to the manager who helps with scheduling and he apologized saying he was going to see if there was a way to make it so my gm was not able to schedule me over the 25 hours I had requested, now multiple times. I said ok, still thinking that’s pretty dumb because why can’t you just fucking listen to me and not schedule me more than 25 hours but whatever. It was fixed before I went on my 3 day weekend (that wasn’t even gonna be 3 days until I had to ask to have my hours fucking cut but I will stop being salty) I just checked my schedule for 2 weeks out and I am scheduled 32 god damn hours over 5 days. Now I am not the kinda girl to normally stick this kind of blatant disrespect out, but I am in quite the sticky situation as I genuinely need to be working until I cannot anymore and obviously if I quit there’s no chance of unemployment. The last couple of weeks have brought on many unfortunate events that we are doing our best to deal with and I am honestly infuriated that I am still having to deal with this shit. I don’t know what to do, or honestly if there’s anything I can do. I just feel so, so disrespected and like my boss is screaming fuck your time in my face. I honestly feel like he’s doing this to try to get me to quit, but like I said I need this fucking job. Also if you read all of this, thank you.
