Hostess refuses to cover her coworker’s shift on Valentine’s Day, so she can spend it with her boyfriend: ‘My managers all made it abundantly clear that nobody was allowed to request the day off.’
She was right not to cover her shift. When you’re working in the service industry, you seldom get to choose your shifts. Schedules come out a couple of weeks ahead of time if you’re lucky, giving you very little time to make any plans in advance. But there are times when you know you’re going …

She’s way too overscheduled for a high school kid. If there’s one group that is easy to take advantage of in the workplace, it’s teenagers. Sure, there might be pesky child labor laws keeping bosses from treating them like late-19th-century factory workers, but the ethos of that era still often rings true. I remember the first …

Time, who cares about it really? At the end of the day, it’s essentially a made-up concept. People made clocks and then refused to ever forget about them.
