'Boss changed my off days': Employee forced to leave second job after toxic manager changed their schedule with no notice

Managers do not have your best interests at heart. Even if it's the kindest manager in the whole workplace, it's important to always be careful about who you trust. In this case, we have a manager who was well aware that their employee could not work on Saturdays and Sundays because of their second job. Rather than respect those rules that were clearly laid out for them months ago, the manager decided not to honor those days and shift the schedule with only two days' notice. 

 

The employee shared their side of the story via this Reddit thread, and it is probably unsurprising to learn that this phenomenon occurs regularly for the folks of Reddit. When you sign on to work anywhere and make it crystal clear from the get-go that you cannot work certain days, that schedule must be honored. It is the least your manager can do in exchange for your commitment to show up to your scheduled hours on time. If that schedule is not honored or changed at the last minute with no care or respect for your time, you should not be obligated to honor those changes. Furthermore, if an employee doesn't make enough that they need to take on a second source of income on their off days, the proper solution for the manager would be to pay them more in exchange for this schedule change. However, we know that outcome is simply too good to be true.
