I’m working a short time at this job and come in everyday for my shift on time and ready to go. Granted— it is part-time and I only really work a maximum of three times a week but as a senior in high school and dealing with my own mental problems it’s alot for me to deal with. Recently, three new underclass men joined our ranks and I was expecting them to work with me. They all get the same amount of shifts as I do and are expected to only work two hours a night when scheduled. However, ever since they arrived I was received nonstop texts and calls almost every night to take their shifts. At first, I said yes because I wanted the money and didn’t mind going in, but now it’s driving me up the wall. Starting two weeks ago, I now refuse to take their shifts and my boss talked to me about it. My excuse is that I have a life too and they need to do their part, especially since everytime they do take off a day they’re hanging out with friends or just sitting at home.
I’m lazy too, I get it, but I’m sick and tired of dealing with it. Am I an asshole or wanted to enjoy the final months of my childhood before I head off to college and not wanting to work myself to death?
