Employee Refuses to Give up Shifts for ‘Always Broke’ Co-Worker
A woman on Reddit is explaining why she is refusing to give up shifts to her co-worker despite the co-worker always needing money. "I (21f) am a college student home for the summer. I work at a restaurant as a server. I started here when I was 16 as a hostess. I have a coworker (29f) who is fairly new, so she only gets 2-3 shifts per week. She knew this would be the case when she was hired. Our manager gives more shifts to those with seniority (unless of course we ask for less). Anyway, this woman is constantly complaining about her financial situation. She complains about not getting enough shifts. She also complains about not getting scheduled for busy shifts, which isn’t necessarily true. She always works at least one weekend night which of course is our busiest time. She picks up extra shifts for people when someone wants the day off which is nice of her, but it’s getting to the point where she expects it, and she’s putting people in awkward situations," she begins.
