Title is exactly what’s going on.
I got a new job- and it’s a good job. I get to help people and even though it doesn’t pay a whole lot, it’s an important job that I can do without a degree.
But I got F*CKED on the schedule and I’ve been livid ever since I found out. At no point did they ever tell me I would be the swing shift person- my co-worker showed me the month’s schedule and that’s how I found out. It’s absolutely destroyed my sleep schedule… everyone else gets consistent shifts and I don’t. My schedule was so bad in August that I had to talk to my supervisor, because it had me on 3 shifts that only had 8 hours between them, a day off, and then 4 more shifts with only 8 hours between them.
I worked four overnight shifts in a row… and now, I’m expected to go back to day shift this morning and tomorrow morning. Then, I get one day off, followed by evening shifts for the rest of the week. I haven’t slept a WINK tonight, can’t use my PTO yet, and I’m not sure I’m going to make it through the day without strangling someone.
I can’t afford to lose this job, but holy hell, this is a NIGHTMARE. Just kidding, you can’t have nightmares if you can’t sleep .
