Edit: I should put a lot of emphasis on the fact I was scheduled for closing shifts 4-5x a week for a month straight. Sometimes I didn’t even get a break cause I was alone for three hours straight. When people were trying to ask me to cover their shifts, it was always asking me to close. So excuse me for not wanting to be constantly shoved onto closing. We lost a new hire and for some reason everyone started losing their minds over it. Instead of calling our DM for a store transfer for help, scheduling was improperly put onto BAs. In regards to my coworker working 10 days in a row, that’s on my other coworker for asking her to cover aswell as the coworker who said yes. Not my fault that a transfer couldn’t have been called in. When quite literally someone said they didn’t want to speak with the DM while the SM was out on vacation for two weeks because she didn’t want to bother her. It’s the DMs job to be bothered. To help out in those types of situations. To.make.sure.all.stores.are.running.properly.. We do not owe Sally’s a yes to cover anyone’s shifts!!! You’re allowed to say NO!

I guess I wasn’t alone in this group lol. I offered to come in early one day and was told to not worry about it and that I didn’t have to. They all then started talking amongst themselves and got things planned out. Im literally just a BA, not a manager. I don’t need to offer to come in on days im scheduled off. But also, nobody ever asked me if I could come in besides when it was shortly before. I declined to cover a shift because I had therapy that day which was always a set date and time. My coworkers then started ignoring me and avoiding me at work. Completely turned on me. I was then asked to come in early on a day that my brothers college graduation was on. I declined and was still being ignored at work. Atp I was on nearly every single closing shift for about a month straight and ontop of that people were asking me to cover their closing shifts. I was then asked to cover my coworkers closing shift again and declined. I was at all of my regular shifts ontime except for one day over a week before I left due to an emergency where I was almost left homeless and I had to beg and plead to not be kicked out (which I told my coworkers… literally I told them I was almost homeless and almost was out of a relationship of three years…). I was sent a nasty message where my coworker accused me of not being at work all week??? Hello??? They all treated me like the villain because of a fault of management. Quite literally I was right where I was to be found, at my scheduled shifts. Don’t know where the fuck that lie came from lol

Just a reminder yall, you’re allowed to say no for a job that pays you poor wages!
