#RespectYourTime #StandUpForYourself #WorkplaceRespect
Can you believe it? They cancelled my shift with no notice, so I quit. 🤯 After dealing with months of disrespect from my employer, I finally decided enough is enough. Here’s the scoop:
– Threatened to 1099 me for asking for less hours as a full-time student 🤦♀️
– Constantly cancelling shifts last minute, despite my commute and schedule
– Walked in today, ten minutes before my shift, only to find out I was taken off the schedule 😡
But hey, when the manager tried to manipulate me into coming back with promises of great pay and benefits, I had to put my foot down. 🚫💪
So, what do you think? Have you ever had to deal with a similar situation at work? How did you handle it? Any advice for those of us standing up for ourselves in the workplace? Let’s talk it out and support each other in setting boundaries and demanding respect. Share your thoughts below! 🗣✨
I just stopped showing up to a job once because they scheduled me 0 hours two weeks in a row. They didn’t post schedule online so I wasn’t going to waste bus ride out there just to learn I had no hours… bullshit capitalism over hiring for a store launch…
They called me a month later telling me the let me go. I told them “ya no shit”.
I’m close to someone who works with the disabled who rely on public transportation, and she said that they see this kind of disrespectful crap all the time. Well done! FAFO to your ex-manager.
This is the correct response.
Ha! They may offer great pay (I doubt it) but who cares if they keep canceling those well-paid shifts?
Look up your relevant employment laws. I’m pretty sure this is not okay. (Depending on where you live 🙄)
A 1099 isn’t just some nice little option employers can pick if they want. There are specific requirements for an employee to be considered 1099.
Good. Don’t let an employer jerk you around, ever.
I worked at a hardware store awhile ago, I went on my lunch break and never came back.
I’d call the IRS and report him for misclassifying employees as 1099 contractors. (Which you aren’t, btw. ) As soon as they tell you which hours to work, you are a w-2 employee. The IRS loves to nail these people.

Proud of you and wish you the best!
Fuck them. They don’t value you.
Outstanding. Stick up and defend yourself. Don’t let others walk all over you like that. I’ve quit jobs before due to them not respecting employees or myself. This is something I try to teach my kids.
Just because you work for them, does not mean they own you.
Depending where you work, check your employee handbook to see if there’s a clause in there that states X hours work, or X hours pay.
Essentially if you’re scheduled to work and they call you off either you receive pay for x hours (usually 1/4-1/2 shift of pay) or you’re given work for the same amount.
If there is, make sure to bring that up with your local labor board.
Nah. You did the right thing. I mean, I know I would’ve clocked in and then left, but you still did the right thing. I only hope that you quit [like Scarface quit](https://youtu.be/qIqeXSYc8nE).
The email is a paper trail to establish a communication they are not being disrespectful and possibly back track on anything illegal ( depending on the state ) they might have committed.
In washington, if they cancel your shift with less than 2 weeks notice, they still have to pay you for half your shift.
check your state labor laws
“**You get paid for half your lost time** if the employer cuts a shift with less than two weeks notice, or sends you home before the scheduled end of your shift. *Note: predictability pay does not apply to changes of less than 15 minutes. If your employer extends your shift by less than an hour, you get that proportional share of the one-hour of predictability pay.*”
Good on you for telling them off. Hope you get a better job that treats you right.
