Management forces me to call every store in the district to get my shift covered

Literally utterly ridiculous. I can’t stand it. I’m sick as HELL. I’ve spent my whole morning texting every single one of my coworkers if they can cover my shift tonight. They all say no, of course. I call my manager and say this, and she tells me I have to call 6 surrounding stores to ask for coverage! Apparently it’s company policy but to me it sounds ridiculous. I’ve had to do this in the past and when they answer they’re just like, “oh, yeah no sorry. Bye” because they themselves are busy and don’t want to spend the time asking their employees to cover a shift at a store 30 miles away. Yes, I work retail. Yes, it’s bullshit.
