i’ve worked at my job for almost 5 years. as a department manager, our boss has always given us two days off in a row. he recently changed my schedule due to the heavier workload and it’s really making me upset, as i’ve confronted him about this numerous times and he’s been telling me when another department manager returns from maternity leave, he’ll give me friday and saturday off. i’m currently off either tuesdays and saturdays or thursdays and saturdays. it’s never the same each week which makes it really hard to plan anything or make appointments.
this other department manager returns from maternity leave tomorrow and my new schedule two weeks out hasn’t changed. literally every other department manager gets two days off in a row, most of them one weekend day and one week day, and another department manager always gets weekends off. i’m just sick of having this conversation every week. if he can’t give it to me for some reason i’d rather he just tell me straight up instead of telling me what i want to hear. because i get really stressed and mad every time he posts the schedule. he is super forgetful ill give him that, but im the only employee that commutes a half hour for this job and i unfortunately cannot quit as i care for my grandma in the evenings when i get off work. this often stretched my day into a 12 hour day and with the weather getting bad, my commute can be super stressful. i just wish he’d be honest with me and actually listen to my concerns.
