Mine is: “Oh man, this whole work thing…”

I don't get why childcare is so undervalued. https://preview.redd.it/q9i2b437m6i81.jpg?width=1000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=12608f63d5a9e2c61440b39ca22ccec496d855ed

So I’m a deli clerk at Walmart , I’ve been there about 6 weeks , in those 6 weeks I’ve never gotten more then 1 day off in a row, this morning at 05:00 one my low end managers texted me “would you like to come in today at 1pm”. If I say yes it’ll eliminate the first time I’ve had two days off . How do I politely tell her absolutely fucking not?

Anyone in the same sinking boat as me.. I can barely keep my measley $4,000 savings in the bank. Working 44 hour weeks just to put a roof over my head and maybe save a teenie bit.

I was asked to do a continued education course once a week, two hours a week, for 8 weeks outside of my normal work hours. They are compensating me (minimally) to attend this training. A day before the training the instructor sent out an email with a few assignments: Google form to fill in, personality survey, and an article to read. I didn't do any of it because they aren't paying me any extra time for homework. Thoughts? It shouldn't matter, but I work in public education where I'm already expected to do car rider liner, stay for sports and work gates, and all the extra bullshit we do like buying our own supplies, etc. that I'm never compensated for.
