Man, that sucks. I am really lucky that I had a stable part time job before I went full time (granted, it was 40hr/week “part-time” with no benefits, but at least it was stable). I hope it works out alright!

yeah i mean, if i manage to stick around 6 months, i get health care benefits (extra health care? i'm in canada how does this work?) and if i'm around for a year i get dental and, like, paid vacation time and maternity leave and stuff; it's not like a terrible company to work for or anything at all; i am just hella wigged out about this schedule thing >.<

I feel like that about my part-time job. Only I get paranoid that I’m not doing a good job and instead of correcting me, they just don’t give me hours. It’s only happened twice in four months, though.

yeah i just am really maybe a little extra-freaked out about it because it's what happened when i worked at moe's, and that completely fucked up my financial situation. like, i had to take out student loans because they lied to me when they hired me and now i'm like 11 grand in debt, and a situation vaguely like this situation is where that snowball got rolling. hopefully i can check the tentative schedule for the following week tomorrow, and if it doesn't look suitably stuffed full of hours, i can talk to a manager, who will hopefully reassure me that THIS IS NOT NORMAL and will not continue. but also i'm freaked out because i'm still in my probationary period and they can fire me for any reason (or no reason) that they want until that's up, so i don't want to complain about anything and i'm afraid that they've fired me and just haven't told me yet or that they're punishing me for something, like you said.

Next time you’ll stay with friends? :D?
