I work 20 hours a week at a bar, and i’m very strict that i stick to this amount of hours maximum as I’m studying for a degree too. i’ve already done my 20 hours for this week, and someone called in sick today – so my manager messaged me asking if i can come into work for a few hours tonight.
i straight up said ‘sorry i’ve made plans already and i’m not on the rota today so i can’t work.’ i don’t have plans but i don’t particularly want to work as i’d done the last two nights. she didn’t take it well and said something like ‘you know it’s good to be dependable sometimes’.
excuse me? if i’m not scheduled to work then i won’t work, it’s not my fault someone called in sick, i do my job right and no one’s ever had an issue with how i work. managers thinking you can’t have a social life outside of work pisses me off – on my day off i don’t even wanna be thinking about work. sorry little rant but what is with part time jobs thinking your life revolves around them?
