Okay me and my husband have been seperated for a couple of months and we are finally working thru our problems. At my job i was finally given a weekend off so i made plans to go see him plus my daughter has been asking to see daddy. I went into work and another manger from another store changed the schedule and has me working this weeked. ( for the 4 months i have been working there i have never had a weekend off). when i told her that i made plans and they were hard to break she pretty much told me tough and that i had to work. I have another job and work at this one part time that was another reason she didnt give me the days off. she also told me i was part time and the least i could do was work a full day on the weekend.
So my question is should i still go like planned and promised or stay?

I'd probably rather explain to my boss that I quit than to explain to my daughter that she will not be seeing her daddy this weekend. Plus, this is your family, and it would certainly be best to spend time together in hopes of a better relationship. It's a parttime, 2nd job, not your main source of income, so I'd say GO!, and if push comes to shove, then you can always begin the search of another job. Best of luck!

Is there someone at work who would be willing to switch shifts with you? Can you afford to quit that stinky job? It doesn't sound like the part-time job is all that great (and the boss sounds like an a**), so maybe look for something else too.
If you can't find someone else to help, or can't quit, just explain to your husband, and maybe ask him to meet after work. Or can he watch your daughter while you work? There are lots of ways to work around this. Just be creative and flexible, and ask you husband to do the same.

4 months is a very short time even as a full time employee, so her request isn't unjustifiable. However, you have to consider if the time planned with your family can be adjusted or will it cause more detriment than losing your part time job. Only you can access if this is feasible. Either way, hope things turn out well for you.

Do you really need the parttime job? Stuff happens, and some managers are jerks and don't care what you had planned. The least they could do is work with you, especially when you had the time off before.

If you lose this part time job will cause a financial hardship? Do you pay daycare and other expenses while you are working? If so, is it worth it for you to stay there. Does your husband help financially? If you guys reconcile will you still need the second job?

Try talking to your husband and see if he would be willing to come to your house for the weekend since you have to work...
Or drop your daughter off on Friday night and when you get off on Saturday go past his place for dinner and a movie

Its not fair for her to change the schedule. Quit the job (its part time and sounds hourly...something easy to replace) and have a great weekend. It could save your marriage.

Family First.
Talk to YOUR direct supervisor about the change ins schedule and let them know you are just plain not avalible.
If you have to find a new job, thats better than backtracking the work you've done on your family.

How bad do you need the job? Granted you have family responsibilities as well but you may want to reschedule your get together and keep the part time job.
This should be a no brainer anyway.

feinately go with your originals plans. Jobs these days are easy to come by.
