I was pretty much on your side until this post. This one basically says "The schedule was set and I came in and imploded it at the last moment and they are being ##### for not immediately giving in to my demands." Sorry, but you come off sounding quite entitled and full of yourself with this one.
Not really. Here's what happened. I originally took off tomorrow for family stuff as well as dinner for my brother. I was informed last Saturday that I won tix to the Eagles game so I changed my plans for Sunday. Schedule came out and they scheduled me to work till 8 on Tues night. NFL postponed the game till Tues night. My Manager ASD told my boss to take me off the schedule for Tues and I also told her that. She wanted me to work Sunday and just switch with someone. I told her well that's not possible because I did original take off Sunday before I won the tickets and I can do the family stuff.
This isn't about me as much as I've bent over backwards numerious times to help my boss out of jams. But the minute I need a favor the world is ending and how dare I ask for an exception. I'm sorry but I've done numerious favors, worked others shifts in the past, has stayed for her etc. However when I ask for some time off it becomes a big deal. It's not my fault the company doesn't pay fair wages and people are gonna work for terrible wages. I feel like more and more I'm taken advantage of. They claim they have flexible scheduling but it's a one way street where we the workers NEED TO BE FLEXIABLE FOR THEM. tHe Minute we ask for some flexibility they act like we asked for the world. Sorry but respect is a 2 way street. It's earned not just given. This is the type of stuff where companies wonder why half their work force quits on them and they are oblivious of why.
Within the past 5 months I've avg'd almost 10.5 Hrs days. Missed important family stuff and other stuff because of people out etc. Godforbid I ask for a little time off that I deserved.
