I’ve been working on a minimum wage casual/part time contract for over a year now in a big retail chain. I’m getting sick of my boss being annoyed with/guilting me because I don’t want to work 7 days a week. I work every weekend 9-5:30 on both days and then I like to pick up two more 8h shifts during the week to a total of 32h~ per week which is perfectly reasonable and I can easily live on this amount of money. Almost every time she will glare and ask me to work more shifts. It’s ridiculous because I was also denied every time I tried to take a full time position for “not being mature enough” (I’m 19). I have a lot going on outside work as I’m renovating my parents old house in another city which I’m traveling to and from every other week. Isn’t it in my contract that I can choose what shifts to work? And maybe if we weren’t so understaffed she wouldn’t need me working every day of the week. I do not care about this minimum wage job enough to be there every waking hour and I only have it to save up money for the reno and get work experience. Does anyone else who works casually have this problem with a boss who makes you feel guilty for saying no to a shift?
