I just got hired at a donut shop & they sent me the stuff to get set up on the app for getting your schedule & requesting days off. However, there are several days/weeks that are “blacked out.” Some of them very random like the entire first 12 days of August. I texted the GM to confirm that these days cannot be taken off at all & she says “correct.” Tomorrow i think I am going to tell her thanks, but don’t think this job is for me.
My sister thinks I’m overreacting, but some of the days they have blocked off are days I actually need off bc my son has no school/no day camp during summer. Not to mention I was told I’d be working a certain schedule, & now they’re already trying to get me to work days/times outside of my availability & I haven’t even started yet. Just seems like a giant headache & not worth it.
