Requesting shift change?
I just started a new job last week and I am training on Monday-Friday, but once trained, my schedule will be Tuesday-Saturday. One of my trainers told me that I’m the only one on our team working that shift. She told me she doesn’t want someone on that shift, she wants everyone on the team on Monday-Friday, but the manager still made me Tuesday-Saturday. I was told I’ll be on the training Monday-Friday schedule for probably 3 months and then switch. During my interview, my shift preference was asked and I said I prefer Monday-Friday. How and when should I go to my manager and ask to switch to Monday-Friday permanently? There is also a rotating start time from 6am to 9am and I said I preferred starting at 6 or 7, but compromised and start at 8. This is not ideal either as I live an hour away from the job.
