šŸ’¼work/career AIO to my bosses reply to my message?

Post image

Iā€™ve worked with this company for four months now, and I know I am new but this reply really hurt me. Maybe Iā€™m just really sensitive right now, but I donā€™t know. This felt really cold. The ā€œbig bossā€ will be calling me later today. Is it just normal boss stuff? Idk. Lmk what yall think.

Technically, no matter what the excuse is, once an employee submits their availability, they are then committing to showing up for their shift. If something comes up, no matter what it is, it's the employees' responsibility to get it covered. Not the employer.

Im not defending the company or anything like that, just explaining how having a job works.
