Prob not going to get shit but I'm dealing with a nasty supervisor and was wondering if anyone has feedback/ had the same situation. So... recently I emailed my work saying i needed to go down to 1 shift, end of two weeks comes and I am told I am totally out of line and abrasive to suggest it, since two guys just quit and we are short staff. I kinda need the cash from the job, but I can't take this burnt marshmellow bullshit. I would appreciate any feedback..

Stand your ground and be firm. Act polite but don't take shit.

If you are going down to one shift a week, chances are you could survive without the job. So I agree with above, they either give you one shift or lose another person.

If you wanna quit, just hand in your two weeks already.

My manager publicly confronted me about handing in my 2 weeks as I told my asst. Manager who I trust a little more that due to my allergies (as I work at a pet store), Im probably gonna have to look elsewhere for work in the coming weeks. I did this to give as much notice as possible as I've been there for a while and kind of a superviser for newer employees. It was weird what my other manager did and she gave me a guilt trip on why I can just push through the allergies and stay but I'm tired of coming home with red itchy eyes and cold symptoms even when I take allergy meds. I guess the moral of the story is to be firm with what you want while still being polite, but in the end, its a job, and they WILL find people to replace you eventually so don't hesitate. Cheers man
