'So you want to own me for $1900 a month??': Part time employee seethes after getting forced to work 5 days a week

Would you rather work a 10-hour shift or a 4-hour shift? At first, it might seem nice to take the shorter shift but then think of all of the lost time spent getting ready for work, getting there, getting back, and decompressing. By the end of the day, your 4 hours is looking more like 6 and at that point, your entire day is lost. So when we're faced with the choice to lose a full day of our lives to our jobs, wouldn't you rather be paid a little overtime? 

The part-time employee in our next story was left seething after discovering what their new hours were going to be at a major retail wholesale company. While management was planning to cap their hours at 25/week, they also needed them to be 100% available on any day of the week. In essence, they were asking them to have full-time availability for part-time pay. How convenient for corporations!
