Changing availability..?
I recently got hired as a produce stocker, and my orientation is tomorrow. During the interview, I listed my availability as “open” because I was desperate to secure the job. However, I also work another job where I don’t get many hours, and I’m trying to balance both. I just received my schedule (at my other job) and have two shifts next week. It’s been like this for the last few weeks, and before applying at Walmart I figured my availability would open up more once school slowed down for the summer, but the hours there still haven’t really improved. One of the shifts next week is only a short closing shift, which I honestly wouldn’t mind working around if possible. The job posting I applied to said 5/6am starts, and the closing shift is a measly 4hr shift. The only concern is another shift that may conflict more. Would it be a bad look to ask for one specific day off or a small availability adjustment this early on, or is that generally reasonable? I don't want to jeopardize my standing this early on and before my other job, I've been unemployed for the last 2 years. I'm also still in school so I'm just trying to stack up over the summer break.
