If an employer expects their employees to respect the schedule by always arriving at their shifts and always being on time, then they should show the same level of respect to the employees' time and schedule.

That means that canceling shifts for employees "just because" is not a valid excuse and is definitely not respectable, especially if they cancel someone's shift only 10 minutes before it is supposed to start, causing the employee to still go through their commute.

We believe that the employee in this Reddit story should definitely retaliate against their manager, who kept canceling their shift without an ounce of consideration for OP's (original poster) valuable time. Luckily, it seems like OP is not willing to go down without a fight, and is ready to make sure they are not being exploited by their employer.
