Okay guys so I have a problem I'd love for antiwork to weigh in on. I work at a gas station and honestly I'm treated like crap. All the other employees are nice to me but God for some reason my boss has it out for me. She yells at me over the littlest things, and then gives these backhanded compliments when I do manage to do something right in her eyes. Everyone says it's because I'm the youngest where I work and that I shouldn't take it personally but I do. I'm the lowest paid car literally the people she just hired make more then me. I can't quit. There is nowhere else to work in the area that's accessible and I cannot support my baby without this job.
Anyway into my problem. I asked off 3 days in April to go see my family in another state and celebrate my son's first birthday. I haven't seen them in two years. But as soon as she posted the new schedule when I went to ask it off 2 other people already asked it off. When I asked my boss if I could get it off she gave a resounding no. She'd give me 2 of the 3 days I asked off. Which sucked. But she said she might need me to work the 10pm-6am shift, since the other two who asked off would be off. I agreed because I could get my stuff done and would be back by then. But when I asked her if I could get confirmation on that, she got snappy and said that nothing was set in stone yet. That was in February. The day is coming and I've been told the assistant manager is going to now work the 10-6 . I guess I'll be scheduled to work 2-10:15.
I don't really know what to do. My partner took off all three days. I already made plans with my family who I haven't seen because I live to far away. I don't want to get into trouble but at the same time I am so so angry. I guess I just wanted to get it off my chest. And maybe ask for advice.
