I work part-time overnight stocking groceries, three years at the store in just a couple weeks; as an autistic guy in my 30s, job hunting is a special kind of hell for me, so I’d like to keep this job for as long as I can.
For what will now be five goddamn weeks in a row, I’m scheduled yet again to work Monday/Wednesday/Friday. I’ve made it clear since I started that I absolutely do not want this kind of schedule; I’ve repeatedly made this clear to the manager responsible, and he constantly brushes me off because “it’s what the company wants, I’ve gotta break up the schedule.” I’ve taken the issue to the goddamn store manager and nothing has changed! I can’t even change my availability to keep this from happening, because apparently the only person who can get me that paperwork is the asshole who stuck me with this shit in the fucking first place!
Also, they won’t give part-timers more hours if they’re not available Sunday nights, but half the night crew takes public transport that doesn’t run late enough on Sundays to be practical; getting a ride share would require more money, which requires more hours, which we can’t get without working sundays, which we can’t promise if we don’t have enough hours across the week for it to be worth it!
