My manager has been sending emails stating that we are in need of extra help and no one has been picking up these extra shifts. Lately she started sending emails stating since no one has volunteered to pick up these weekend shifts she will be assigning them to us. Can she do that? Also, i had made a comment to another co worker stating that i would come in if she decided to leave the the office early but to call me. i did not tell the manager, mainly because i was not sure when i would come in, considering it was the weekend and my weekend off. So if she called or left i would gladly come in for a few. Around noon i get a call from the manager saying i volunteered to work the shift and because i did not show up in the morning it was job adbandoment. I clearly stated i never said i would come in for sure and she is the manager to explain to me when i confirmed it with her. She Rudely replied, "well i am the manager and i'm telling you, you have 20 min to get to work i know you dont live far". Can she do that as well? is it not her job to go at least pretend she is filling in for her employees, rather than calling and threatening me. i did not communicate my generousity to her for a reason, because i was not sure what time i would come in. and the person i was suppose to cover was still there. she had not left like i told the other co workers to call me when she left. But because this employee wanted to leave she made it sound like i signed a contract stating i was coming in for sure so she can go home. The manager said she will be talking to me on monday. does this sound like a write up to you guys? |

Yes, your manager can change your work schedule with little or no notice.
If your manager asks you to do something, and you refuse, it is considered insubordination. Insubordination can be subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination. |
