If my employer text me and says “I need you to come in at 9:30 to work a 12 hour shift”, but my original start time is 1:30 and I’m suppose to work an 8 hr shift originally, can I say no I don’t want to work the over time? Security work btw

I live in Latakia and although my neighbourhood was not damaged, the danger is not fully offset! My boss and one of the managers (who happens to be his own neice) ask me daily why am I not coming to workplace!

I need everyone to start pulling their weight across the store as myself and the rest of the management team can’t continue to pick up the excess slack as we have other duties to perform besides running load. All load must be finished by 10am at the latest – this is a non negotiable and is a compliance issue. Some of you are walking around as if your legs are made of concrete – I’m over it and I expect everyone to start having some semblance of urgency otherwise it’ll be an entirely separate conversation with myself and Hayden as to why you can’t perform to benchmark. To those that are performing; thank you. I understand that this may not sit well with some but quite frankly I don’t care – majority of you…
