I care for my mom and I work at a large chain steakhouse. We have a lot of employees and run around 10 to 15 servers a shift. I have asked for a modified schedule to care for my mom and they were aware of my mom before I was hired. I have asked for a later schedule but right now I open dinner shift every day. I am by numbers the top server and I work extremely hard. There are other servers that have late schedules due to other jobs and stuff but my schedule manager won't approve my request. How should I handle this??

Is this legal when I have documents and have communicated about my responsibilities?

Do y'all ever have the experience that the voices will wait till you have something really important or that you really want to do and all the sudden they are so loud you can't think? They can be such jerks

Im in a chain and it's consistently the good people loose due to the underhanded actions of the others. No one is held accountable and we are killing the servers who actually care. Our cooks literally don't care I saw one grab fried shrimp that was at least 40 mins old and in a togo box with his bare hands and put them on a plate to sell. A career server broke a glass in the ice bin and left it without marking it. These are all immediate termination before COVID. Now it's common and I don't understand why we allow it and why we are hard on the people killing themselves for the place. Why are we rewarding bad behavior.
