Tricked into a job I will probably be fired at.

This is at a bank if it's relevant. In my interview I told my now boss that due to my husband's schedule (nightshift 2-3-2 schedule) I was looking for a job where I get off at 5 and don't work weekends because I pick up my daughter. She was not in daycare at the time of my interview because I am paying for the daycare. She told me this was fine and made small talk about how she herself quit her job the first few years her children were born blah blah blah. She told me they have part timers that close but I may need to close occasionally and work Saturday. I told I could make this happen if she asked me beforehand so I could be sure my husband was home as her daycare is closed on weekends. My second day at work she scheduled me closing shift…

In my interview I told my now boss that due to my husband's schedule (nightshift 2-3-2 schedule) I was looking for a job where I get off at 5 and don't work weekends because I pick up my daughter. She was not in daycare at the time of my interview because I am paying for the daycare.

She told me this was fine and made small talk about how she herself quit her job the first few years her children were born blah blah blah. She told me they have part timers that close but I may need to close occasionally and work Saturday. I told I could make this happen if she asked me beforehand so I could be sure my husband was home as her daycare is closed on weekends.

My second day at work she scheduled me closing shift the next Friday. She asked if this was OK and I told her it was but only because my husband is off that night and can pick up the baby. She asked what his schedule is and I declined to answer. I told her that his schedule flips and because he is a lead he sometimes has to go in on his off days. (This is true, but since I just started I wanted a nicer of way of saying none of your business)

I called out 4 days last week due to RSV and when I came back Friday there was no schedule posted when I left that night.

My boss text me yesterday “10 to 710 monday pls” to which I responded “I can't close Monday”

She read the text and never replied. So I will be calling in tomorrow and probably picking my daughter up early from daycare and bringing her with me to get my schedule for the rest of the week.

Might call the Corporate office. I haven't decided. I'm mainly disappointed because I turned down other offers for this job.
