“Facts! Keep them on read too ! I even say I wished I could but I have other obligations,“ a third echoed.

However, some disagreed, stating they would come in if they were called because they need the hours.

“Sadly I accepted a shift I need hours,” one commented.

“And that’s when I go cuz I need to pay my bills… but imma still cuss his ass off in my head when I see him,” a second concurred.

Others shared their similar experiences with having their hours cut and then called in.

“I threw up (i’m pregnant) and I told my boss I couldn’t come in, she threatened to fire me till the next day and said ‘we need you to come in,’” one person shared.

“For the PAST MONTH, ive only worked one day a week and she tries calling me in? nuhuh, i already made plans since you wanna be like this,” a second stated.
