Rant: Scheduled on Saturday, AGAIN!!!

[AlienGirl]

Once again my store manager has scheduled me to work Saturday. This despite the fact that I've put notes in the computer and talked to him several times requesting *not* to be scheduled Friday nights or Saturdays. I am at my wits' end. First he keeps over-scheduling me, including having me work until 11:00 at night and then come in at 8:00 am. This wreaks havoc with my precarious brain chemistry--sleep deprivation is the surest way to send me into a depressive tailspin, including suicidal ideation. Now, adding insult to injury, he overrides my unavailability in the computer system and schedules me on Saturday! :grr:

Oh, I was also told that I "can't advance in the company" if I'm not willing to work Saturdays, because all store managers must work Saturdays (they get Sundays off as company policy.)

I work every Sunday. I work Christmas and Easter. I work the Fourth of July and all the other "family" holidays because my kids aren't with me.


Is there anything I can do besides continuing to complain and get on his nerves, or should I just be glad I have a job at all in this economy?
