First time back at work at my retail job in nearly two weeks. My starting time is:
1) noon
2) 1:00 p.m.
3) 2:00 p.m.
Short version of the backstory is: last time I saw the schedule was two weeks ago. It said my start time today is 2:00 p.m.
Two days ago I get a call from Coworker. Can I come in an hour early to help cover some time from his shift because he's doing blah blah blah ... I don't actually remember. He also said he had yet to clear the whole thing with New Manager. I said okay.
CW: "Oh, great, so you'll be starting at noon."
Me: "What? No, I'm not scheduled to start until 2."
CW: "I'm pretty sure you're scheduled for 1."
It would not be unusual for the schedule to have changed since I saw it last, and with the demise of the store's Facebook group (at company's orders) the only way to notify staff of a schedule change would be by phone call or text message. I didn't get either.
Me: "Okay, well, tell her I can start at noon if she needs me."
CW: "Thanks!"
...
...
...
Never got anything further from him. So I get up this morning with absolutely no clue when I'm supposed to show up.
Finally broke down and called the damn store.
I start at 2.
Dammit, I coulda slept in for at least another hour.
1) noon
2) 1:00 p.m.
3) 2:00 p.m.
