scheduler messing around last minute
context: I’m RPT and in AM merch so my shifts start at 4am.
This might be just a general job question but for a very specific circumstance… this weekend I have approved vacation (Fri-Sun) and we just came back from a long weekend.
When my initial schedule came out (2 weeks ago) I had one 5-hour shift on Tuesday essentially putting my days off for Weds+Thurs and then I would go on vacation. It changed again last week where a shift was added on Wednesday, and changed AGAIN a few days later back to Weds+Thurs off.
My supervisor (who also does the scheds) has called me this morning at 6am telling me I am now short days and has added a shift for tomorrow. It is not 24-hour notice since this shift starts at 4am.
The personal issue is the Thursday off has been untouched for basically the entire 3 weeks since this schedule has come out and I have vacation days right after so I obviously made plans around this.
I guess I‘m asking is how do I defend myself in this situation without getting written up since I can’t make it to this shift? Or what’s the consequence for being short on hours for the very first time? Am I worrying too much about this? lol
