I work overnight stocking frozen food, and I recently signed up for a college class after being out of school for a few years.
Currently job has me working 6 days and 42 hours. I asked for them to cut me down to 36 hours to accommodate my school schedule but they refused, saying what I do during the day has nothing to do with what I do at night.
The only thing they were willing to accommodate was letting me go 2 hours earlier on school days, meaning instead of getting off at 8 I'd get off at 6 so I could catch the bus to my 9:00 class (also have to take care of my dog when I get off) which brings me down to 40 (off one of the two school days)but they could just add 2 hours to another shift.
I tried explaining that I needed the extra 6 hours per week to pass the class, but it fell on deaf ears.
I'm very frustrated as I have zero write ups with the company, have a great attendance record and very few latenesses. Not really sure what to do at this point as I don't have a back up job.
