a question about terrible scheduling

I messaged my manager about an hour ago that i was having trouble staying awake, cause our schedule (that starts tomorrow morning) isn't out yet. Between me passing out with my phone in my hands waiting for the email that it was posted, the work group chat has been updated by my manager. I haven't opened the text, but it says that I'm supposed to open in the morning… But to tell an opener 10 hours before open that they work seems… I don't know, unethical? The actual schedule has not been posted, just a text with what hours those “scheduled” are supposed to be in tomorrow. While I was contemplating this, my boss' boss has messaged me (this is also unopen) asking if i saw that I work. I guess my question is what are the legalities here? Can I be fired if I don't go in?

The actual schedule has not been posted, just a text with what hours those “scheduled” are supposed to be in tomorrow.

While I was contemplating this, my boss' boss has messaged me (this is also unopen) asking if i saw that I work.

I guess my question is what are the legalities here? Can I be fired if I don't go in? Should I open the messages/respond?

I was asleep when the first messages were sent and happened to wake because my cat stepped on my bladder. But at the same time would it even be reasonable to go in if i had seen these messages in the morning? Should I demand compensation? A raise? (i was started lower than what is advertised as starting pay, as is.) Something else? I'd love to flat out quit, but I have no other prospects at the moment.
