TL;DR : I told my new manager about my planned week off 3 TIMES, and he scheduled me to work anyways
(also sorry for any spelling or grammar errors, i'm tired)
I (m19) recently got a new job at a “specific fast food chain restaurant” and I haven’t really been happy there and have been planning on quitting for a few reasons even though I’ve been there for 2 days, but this has really pissed me off.
I’ve had plans to go out of town for an event for a few months now and I just so happened to get hired two weeks before said event (taking place this week). I mentioned on the job application that I wasn’t available to work from August 22nd-August 28th, then I also mentioned it at the job interview and the manager told me it’d be fine. Then I also emailed him about it after the interview because he asked me for my unavailability's again.
However, I got a text from my manager today reminding me that I had a shift tomorrow (Aug 22). I immediately responded, telling him I was very confused because I had told him several times already that I was having the week off (he and another co worker even mentioned that I wasn’t going to be in for this week on my first day so I thought that it had all gone well)
We ended up having a call and I reminded him that I told him several times that I was going to be having this week off and his response/excuse was “that I didn’t put out an n/a for the week” which I couldn’t do anyways because I couldn’t get onto the work app until a week after I was hired aka last week and the way the app works is that you can only set your availabilities a minimum of 2 weeks in advance. Also, I was completely unaware that I was scheduled for tomorrow because the work app isn’t showing me my shifts.
So just to be nice, I offered to come in anyways since I need the money. A part of me wants to just get it over with since it’s only a 6 hour shift but the thought of going in physically makes me feel sick and annoyed. Honestly I'm kind of worried that I’m going to walk out mid shift tomorrow and that’s not like me at all.
Even if I do quit this job it’s not like I'm losing much, I just picked this job up because my other job has me pretty much living pay check to pay check and I want to be able to save for my future. Plus, I had another job offer which I had to decline because this shithole contacted me first – but the other job told me they’d be happy to talk with me if things didn’t work out)
I’m very stressed about this if you couldn’t tell haha
