I would have done what was necessary to not jeopardize my job since I have bills to pay and pets that depend on me. If it were a rare occurrence I would not make much of the situation. If it were a regularly occurring situation I would take steps to meet with a supervisor or management and calmly try to see if it is a situation that could be changed, without getting angry and defensive if possible. If it were a regular occurrence and not something I could change, and was something I did not feel able to tolerate, I would look at a change in jobs or even careers and work toward that end and leave the current job when I was able to. Keeping in mind of course that any career or job will have its moments of frustration, unfairness, and unpleasantness that just has to be dealt with the best you can. I would be very cautious about losing my temper or giving ultimatums to an employer, no matter how justified it may seem.

An alternative...maybe you could call in each day, an hour or so before your shift, and see what time is up on the board/wall? Would spare you a couple of hours sitting around.

I called in last night to see when I'm scheduled to work next. I'm on Friday 5-10 and Sunday 10-5, so it looks like I still have my job.

They play these games with the schedule. If you happen to piss the management off, they dick with your hours. I've seen it done and called them on it.

I've been with the company for 3 years and know it inside and out. I'm good at what I do at Customer Service.
