So I work in Dollar General while i go to collage. I made sure to put in a month ahead that I cannot nor will not work thanksgiving becasuse I was going out of town.
Manager approached me yesterday saying “you will be coming in that day or you'll be written up. But because im nice ill let you decide between dayshift (7am-4pm) or nightshift (4pm-11pm)”.
I explained I followed the steps required, I marked it on the callender and put as such on the app we use. She then responded with “thats not how things work here, now dayshift or nightshift?”
I plainly told her “if you schedual me for that day and you're understaffed thats your fault because im not coming in that day, my life isnt work”
(Apologies for grammer, english isnt my first nor my best language)
