This is all because she asked me to come in early for her (2 hours before my shift starts), which she does a lot. I have been super overwhelmed lately (mental health, appointments) and she knows I’m taking classes and need to get ready for a trip coming up. She’s called me “the busy one” and has seen me napping when we have downtime. I asked if I could switch an early day with a coworker, and that this week was just a really bad time.
Her main argument is that I don’t volunteer to cover her shift enough, so I have to do it. We went back and forth, but she doesn’t handle the schedule (we do) so I think she just didn’t care for what I had to say. Which is odd, because she’s normally very accommodating and flexible.
To keep the peace, I sent her a text apologizing and that I will come in for her. No reply. Today she’s back at work and she’s very obviously giving me the silent treatment. I am so over it. I’m half her age and she’s acting like a child. My job is super unstructured (we don’t work the full 8 hours, my start time has changed a lot) so it feels like I have no excuse to not come in 2 hours early.
