I wish I could do that.... I asked to trade weekend days with the other worker. I typically work Saturday, and my Mom is going to be in Charlotte friday night, Saturday & leave Sunday evening (around 4 to 5), so I was asking to work Sunday or Friday so not to opt out of the weekend but just needed to not work my typical day so I can visit her.
They told me that no they wouldn't because I didn't get to make my schedule and that I hadn't been working there long enough to not work with them and that THEY didn't want to work on Sunday. I only see my mother around 5 times a year so it was kind of important to me but no big deal, I won't get the chance to see her again until some time in July. He also added in that he didn't hire me to try to set my own schedule.
