get a call asking to come into work on my day off. i say im pretty booked, but i can have a look and let them know. call them back <30 min later to let them know i checked my schedule and i have appts all day, but can cover for an hour. cue to "appointments again ? how important are they ? oh well but its your department... your sales losses... guess coworkers name will have to manage alone today..” like yeah ig so ?? not my bad you wont increase wages so its impossible to get more workers. i made a schedule as good as i could considering the lack of staff, and i made my appointments when i made the schedule 3 weeks ago. if staff calls in and nobody can cover, thats your problem to deal with. i dont get paid enough to throw away my personal responsibilities to clean up your mess
