After 15 yrs of teaching I finally left for greener grasses after having a mental/emotional breakdown due to verbally abusive parents. I quickly found a new job at my local natural grocer, a place I'd been wanting to work for ages as they have an incredible reputation for taking care of their employees. I was able to get into the management tier and love my new job…I love helping customers, talking about our local products and learning about merchandising from my manager. Until today…when their “lifestyle scheduling” policy was thrown out the window and I was told my entire schedule, including my weekend, is changing. My husband and I were over the moon when I got this job because it aligned with a promotion he received from the same company, meaning we'd have the same 2 weekend days (Sunday/Monday) for the first time in 17 yrs. Now my weekend is changing to Thurs/Fri, so not only will I have no time off with my spouse, I will also no longer be able to visit my mother on Sundays as she works Mon-Fri, or see anyone else in my family regularly unless I use my PTO and schedule time off. I am devastated. I felt I was finally getting back on my feet after a rough year, and now the rug has been pulled out from under me. I can either accept the new schedule and be miserable or lose my job and benefits. FML.
