If we don't have more people open up their availability then it forces us to hire more associates to cover those shifts that can't be worked or when people take too much time off. That results in less hours for others. -scheduling manager
This was said to me when I reminded them that I was no longer available on Fridays. I had previously given them five days of availability and they had me scheduled for about 9hrs a week average. Im not taking time off so I dont know why they said that and clearly being 70% available to them is more than they need from me…, I let them know of my availability change and they shoot back that bs like its my problem.
Just got a text that Im no longer needed for my scheduled shift for tomorrow. Which means Ill probably keep changing my availability until it's literally the one consistent day they schedule me. Retail sucks. Thank god for gig work to tide me over while I keep job hunting, again.
