If the schedule is subject to change w/out notice, I'd call every day to see what my hours are. Explain the hardship that this change posed for you, go in again anyhow, and be sure to call on a daily basis. Even when I have a dr. or vet appt., I call ahead to see how they're running. If they're running behind, say 30 min. or so, then I tell them that I'll be in 30 min. late. My time is valuable, too, but this is your job we're talking about here. Start looking for employment elsewhere. When they say "subject to change w/out notice", it's their excuse for inconsiderate behavior. You're a number, not a person, unfortunately, which is why I never lasted in retail.

Well, I am far from a wimp, but, I view it differently.

The store manager is my boss....if he/she says this is the situation, then, I deal with it. I have come in to meet with my bosses at a pre-set time, and, then, the time changes. Okay. Move on...he who writes the paycheck gets to make the rules.

Aka...the golden rule....he who has the gold, rules.

I am editing an Employee Handbook for a new client. Right up front it reserves the right...with or without notice...to change schedules, assignments, hours, job duties. And this in California (the most pro-employee state...)

Donna, you may want to check your Employee Handbook and see what it says!
