Handed schedule at new job, weekend work for Q4

I’m not working on Sunday. Been an all around amazing experience at the new job until today. Manager slacks me my schedule for entire quarter, I have to FRIDAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 11-730! So this on its face is not necessarily what irks me, but the fact that during the interview process I was led to believe that there would have been a discussion prior to the end of training about scheduling. This I find to be extremely disrespectful, not even to be handed it in person and basically told this is when you will be here for the next 3 months. I have never, ever experienced this in any position I have held prior to this. At the very very very least I have been given something to write preferences onto, even if they’re not honored. (Unless it’s M-F 8 hrs) Not in retail, not in service, never. There…

I have never, ever experienced this in any position I have held prior to this. At the very very very least I have been given something to write preferences onto, even if they’re not honored. (Unless it’s M-F 8 hrs) Not in retail, not in service, never. There is not even a pretense that they give a shit about what schedule you’d like.

I am so pissed off about this. I will not work Sundays and this is not behavior I expect out of a professional environment. I am talented and hard working and I have a good looking resume.

This is in logistics and I understand there is a necessity to have someone on 24/7/365, but to not even have any communication on this front is beyond me. I cannot understand how you simply just assign people these shifts with ZERO consideration for what they have in their lives. I feel like I’ve been slapped in the face. I know there are people on this sub who deal with far worse situations and I don’t want to diminish those experiences, but this seriously frustrates me, especially because there was 2 months between now and my prior job.

Edit: I did slack my manager requesting a change here, I will post updates as they come.
