Context: I’m in the UK and I recently got a new job (temporarily as I’ve just had my contract end as my previous company in the field I want until I can get something more solid) I need this job so quitting isn’t an option.
I had an interview two weeks ago the induction this past week and start work on Monday. It’s a big company chain . From the start I made it very clear I cannot work on a Wednesday at all because I’m continuing to volunteer in my previous job role (it’s a charity) I had then been asked to come in on Wednesday morning just gone, by the new job, as I need to complete the fire training in order to work there. I told them it wasn’t possible as I made it clear I couldn’t work Wednesdays. I’ve made an exception to come in Wednesday next week to do it but I’ve now been told since that I’ll have to do that once every three months. I literally don’t know what to do because I made it clear before and I need this new job. Even my contract says I can’t do Wednesdays so I’m not sure what to do as it’s the only day they do the training.
Any advice would be appreciated in how to handle this please
Edit* I can’t routinely give up my volunteer Wednesday temporary to do the training because I’ll lose my placement doing that and I made it clear in the beginning even from the first application form when they ask availability, this was the case.
