I work a service industry adjacent position that requires a flexible schedule. I've been fine with this, and take a day or two off when possible. I worked 18 days straight over Christmas, with my first "day off" being New Year's Eve. I didn't schedule time off, I just didn't get scheduled. The day before NYE, my boss asked for me to cover a shift. I told him I was going out of town. He allowed it, but when we talked next, he said
"I was upset when you said you couldn't work, because you hadn't scheduled time off on the schedule. I thought I was going to get a day off finally, so I was disappointed when you told me you weren't able to help"
I explained since it was both the holiday, and my first day off in over 2 week, I didn't think I had to officially schedule it as "time off", but I will in the future.
Guess who suddenly has scheduled "time off" for every Saturday and Sunday for the foreseeable future?
I'm so done.
