Hi! So my bf (18) is working at a local supermarket and I (18) work from home with my small business. So recently because of us finishing Highschool and my mom kicking us out in the next couple of weeks, we have needed some extra time off for him so we can sort out our business. Also I must mention that he also runs his own business which is moderately successful and he can definitely afford to be able take a day off a week from work. He’s explained to his Manager how he’s making money outside of his day job and also need some time to figure out graduating and moving out. So my boyfriend has been asking for a day off every once in a while in about a weeks advance and now his manger is retaliating by scheduling him for 9 days (he is a schedule that consist of about 5 days on 2 days off) at a time and making rude jokes and comments about him asking for days off. And my boyfriend texted him and explained how it’s not okay to schedule him for 9 days straight and have their whole week and half set on him working (because of short staffing) without his permission even after he’s explained how much shit we have to do outside of his work schedule. And now other co workers are warning him that hes on thin ice and could be fired, when we really need him to keep this job to be able to apply for places so we’re not homeless but we also need some time to even figure these things out by viewing apartments and getting a ID for him. Is he stepping outside of his rights as a employee? Apart me is like yeah fuck them they can’t do that but I’m also like maybe he’s taking this too seriously. Thanks !
