It’s been so long since I’ve had a job with a different weekly schedule. I was lucky that even when I did part-time work, the schedule would be the exact same every single week. It makes planning your life outside of work much easier and even lightens the workload for bosses and managers. Still, if a workplace does have different schedules every week, it doesn’t necessarily equal disaster. As long as the schedule comes out a week before workers have to work it, they have plenty of time to fix it if there’s a conflict or issue. A schedule coming out three days before is pushing it, but it at least gives workers a hot second to get their affairs in order. Recently, one company did the most irresponsible thing I’ve heard of in a long time: they sent out the new schedule 40 minutes before their employees would come in.
