Random work schedules
Anyone here ever work a job where your hours vary tremendously?
My job has work a complete random bullshit schedule every week. I had to start at 3am, then the next day at 12pm, then the next day at 6am. So I'm always tired or awake at 2am like right now. |

If I had reduced my availability right away after being hired as "open schedule" it would have looked bad. But now they value me and will work with me. So basically: Assert yourself or find a different job. |

This is assuming you're working part time.

in my experience managers who are scared of firing people make shifts like that for people they want to get rid of

I'm about to get a promotion actually.
I work at a grocery store as a bagger and just general work mule for all the departments to drop whatever shitty part of their job they don't want to do. "There's an inspection today, and the baseboards in the walk-in freezer need to be cleaned. That's gonna fucking suck! Let's get the bag boy to come in at 3am to do it." I'm getting moved to Deli though, but there's only spots open because everyone who gets moved there quits within a few months. So yeah, maybe they're trying to get rid of me. |

Doesn't that job make you want to kill yourself? I know it would for me.
I worked in a convenience store for a year ages ago. I'd say worst job ever but actually not true, I've had worse. Probably the worst I ever tried was picking raspberries in fields. You know that scene in Napoleon Dynamite where he goes to work on some egg farm and it sucks and he gets home to like 6 dollars? There's pretty much how this was, including the awkward break for lunch. They ask you will you come back tomorrow, hmm, what do you think? No wonder they hire Mexicans. No white privileged citizen in their right mind would lower themselves to this. |

It's so much better than my last shitty job, that I don't even find it that bad.
I don't think there's a job I can get that doesn't suck. I'm starting college very soon, so idk, eventually I'll get to do something that doesn't require scrubbing baseboards. |

we have a strange shift thing at my job.
12 hour shifts, 3 or 4 days on, then 3 or 4 days off. each shift period you switch off doing night and day shift. so you work mon-thurs 7am-7pm, have a few days off, then come back and work 7pm-7am for some days. and keep flip flopping like that. it's kinda weird but it also kinda works. you always have a 3 day weekend and never work more than 4 days in a row, sometimes less, and night shift is a breeze compared to day so everyone takes turns with shift loads to make it fair. |

You can't tell them you can't work before 6am or something? That's not an unreasonable boundary, no?
They are probably using scheduling software, if it's a decent sized store/chain. It's just putting you wherever it wants. They can limit where it puts you, but that might make you have less hours but it's not like they can't put more in manually if they want to. |

There are plenty of office jobs with regular schedules available to people with no experience or real education
Otherwise I would have never gotten a job |

The work I do I see at least a couple ads for every month and it never requires experience and it pays enough to live on as long as you aren't a complete irresponsible degenerate like I am
I don't even want it publicized really so I have less competition next time I need a new one |

i've only been asked that question once in the last five years and i've had a lot of interviews because i guess i look good on paper but once you get a chance to see me in person and/or hear me talk my unquestionable loserliness is evident like the smell of a ripe turd
