This seems to be a running saga for me.
I was recently taken off the schedule by my boss because, what i had originally thought it was because I sat down on the clock because of my foot problem, but that was not it. It was because I complained that I had on my availability that I could only work until 1:30 on Sundays, but I was scheduled until 6:30. I worked the entire day, but I still was punished through the schedule, by working no hours at all.
After talking to both my manager and the office manager about it, I reluctantly changed my availability so that I'd stay until 3 on Sundays. The reason I wanted a shorter day sunday was simply because of my mental health. I cut my hours after a mental breakdown, I went from 40 hours to about 35, so not that big a deal, I thought.
When i talked to my manager, he was talking about giving more, that rotating shifts was expected and I should be open to rotating shifts, even though a significant number of other employees don't rotate shifts, and also aren't taken off the schedule. He also talked about how respect went a long way, blah blah blah. I have never disrespected my bosses in the slightest, or missed more than 2 days of work inb5 years. Im not sure what he meant, but.
So after discussing and agreeing that 35 hours was my absolute max, and writing it on my availability sheet for the office, imagine my surprise when I saw that I work 40.5 hours next week.
The thing about respect is that I believe in giving and getting. Of course, hes my boss, but if he can't respect my time, why should I respect him or his? I do everything asked of me, yet I'm not respected.
I can't even complain, because the last time I did, I was taken off the schedule for an entire week. I have bills to pay, I can't miss work.
Why even ask an employee to fill out a sheet saying when they're available or not available, if you are going to blatantly disregard it anyways?
