She's been there for some time now, she's always worked Monday through Friday because there aren't any affordable daycares that are open on Saturday. She also doesn't make enough to keep him in there for 6 days a week. Her job is now requiring her to work Monday through Saturday every 3rd week. She told them when they decided to implement it that she was unable to find care for Saturdays consistently if at all. They told her that because they were giving her two weeks that it wasn't their problem and that she needed to work it out. Originally they had someone there to do it but promoted that someone. They said it would be like this until June likely and she said it wasn't possible for her to find something that long term for childcare. Then after that she found out that they already let someone else not have to be in the schedule for Saturdays, shortly after that they've let another person have Mondays off so they can be at 5 days a week. My question since I've never had to deal with this is that discriminatory for allowing other but not her. Also they told her that she could ask to switch days with someone but the issue is that it's still 6 days a week, as a single mother with a 1.5 year old boy that's really difficult to manage. Yesterday a lot of it came to a head and her direct manager went from scolding her about how she should be able to work whenever they want her to work, to how she's an unfit mother because if anything happened to her, her son would end up in foster care and how she needs to be doing a better job. She was in tears when I picked her up. I hate seeing my friend like this, I feel like there has to be some point where they can't speak to her like that. Her manager also said that she could report this to HR but they would be sure to send it right back to them. She feels like she's stuck in a circle with nowhere to go and she wants to find another job. The issue though is she doesn't have a vehicle since their prices are sky-high and she only makes enough to afford rent and diapers. Her employment options are limited due to that though. If anyone has any advice on what she can do in Idaho about this we'd greatly appreciate it.
