It is the responsibility of business managers to provide appropriate work schedules for their employees. The workers cannot expect that schedule adjustments will be made on their own, so they must properly notify them if there are any. To ensure that the tasks are completed conveniently, the staff should be consulted before creating the schedule.
OP had provided screenshots of their conversations with the boss on the schedule adjustment, and OP’s duty was set for Tuesday even though OP had already informed them of their absence. The manager criticized OP for not checking with the store every week for changes in work hours, but OP insisted that Tuesday work was out of the question, whether checked or not. According to OP, it was the manager’s responsibility to set the schedule after discussing it with the employees. Take a look at the screenshots of the messages’ replies, then leave a comment below with your opinions on the circumstances.
