I work for Publix. The schedules as you know for retail are all over the place. I finally got 2 days off in a row (which I never do) and got off Saturday in the afternoon (7-3pm). So I went “hey I’m gonna drive down 3 hours to my parents house in FL. And visit my family and grandma.”
Then I get a missed call today at 1pm with a voicemail asking if I want to work from 2-10pm. On my 2 days off in a row! How about no! How about don’t call me on my days off.
I didn’t even call back until almost 3. I’m enjoying my uncles beach house on the ocean. Take your 2-10pm and eat it. I know I’m ranting but this stuff makes me annoyed. The Publix I work at has some serious staffing issues right now because some people quit (and someone told me it’s bc management is so bad).
I’m new-ish, just started the first week of June but I work my 5 days every week. Can’t I just go home to see my parents without someone calling me making me feel obligated to call back and talk to them? Ughhh. I already did call back and tell them I wasn’t there. It just feels so weird to me. Like “yeah sorry I’m not in the state.” Lol
My last job was an office job and you had off Saturday/Sunday. No nonsense (I know many offices ask if you’ll work overtime). This is why I hate working retail though. No real schedule. You might get off a Monday and then a Thursday. It just sucks. I can’t even see my mom and dad or go anywhere when I get off random days of the week.
