Sudden schedule change, no work until beginning of March

When I say sudden, I mean getting a notification of schedule change two days before the next work week starts after already having the schedule for a week and a half… Reason? Budget cuts from corporate. Already applying to another job, I’m not even sure if I’m going to give notice at this point. If they aren’t going to give me a considerate notice that I’d be out of work for almost three weeks straight, then why should I give them notice that I’m leaving? I am technically part time but have been working over time due to call outs and quitting (not surprised with the low employee retention and high turnover atp).

I am technically part time but have been working over time due to call outs and quitting (not surprised with the low employee retention and high turnover atp). But suddenly after having my schedule for this week already for over a week, they change it on a Saturday night and take all my hours. Not even just me, but three of my other coworkers that I know of also have there hours either significantly cut or cut completely. When confronted by multiple workers of the significant budget cuts despite corporate hyping up all of the sales records that have happened this year, store manager just says that cutting back on hours will help compensate for all of the theft that has happened. What? Not even sure if that’s even a legitimate excuse. I’m only 20 and a college student who has rent and other bills to pay. I do odd jobs and contract on the side to make ends meet but it can get a little sketchy as a young women. I’ve already received two interviews since this weekend. Do not be loyal to these companies and these people. They do not care about you. They pressured me for basically open availability just to take hours away? forget being loyal or considerate to big corporations, I feel so insulted after giving so much just to now be scrambling on how I’m going to feed myself and pay rent this month.
