To be added to as events warrant.
I was scheduled 5-close last night. In the morning ASM calls me and says he wants me in at 3. OK, fine, I can do that.
I go in at 3, and am told to come back at 6 to do 6PM-6AM, and then come back for my scheduled shift at 1PM.
Um...I don't think you can do that. I can probably hack the overnight IF I'm really needed, but no way I can come back at 1PM then. Not only does that violate the 8-hours-between-shifts rule, I don't want to be a pedestrian right when the travel ban is lifted.
Yes, it was "the most overtime", but I don't want to get in the middle of a 'time theft' accusation or get questioned about only 6 hours between shifts. I could use the overtime money but if someone over you tells me he doesn't want me to stay I'm going home while I can (if SM wanted me to stay I would, but I wasn't going to insist on it--not after working my normal shift).
SM sent me home at my usual time (11PM) because the eight carts of returns that ASM thought was going to take all night just took 3 hours; it was dead after 9PM, so everyone got on returns. I'm going in now because I'll probably be asked to pull 10AM-11PM--which I can do.
