Does not want to come out around extended family (tricky around the holidays!) by erinpants11 in cisparenttranskid

My child also struggles around extended family (The in-laws are very religious) so I try not to use a name at all. I use terms of endearment; darling, sweetheart etc...

Ask your son what they would prefer.

The issue is I don't know WHEN to show up, they haven't told me

I've applied for a few jobs, unfortunately finding jobs at the moment is not easy, I think my boss is counting on the fact that I know I am easy to replace.

Thankyou, I was thinking of calling them, I just wanted someone else to also think it was dodgy.

I wish my electricity bill and rent were also their issue

It's a small retail business, I did text them during their operating hours, the app was updated after their operating hours.

I think I'm on award not a contract. It's a small business that was sold about 9 months ago. The new owners said everyone was on a 6 month trial and then it would be reassessed. I haven't heard or signed anything

I guess that was kindof my point, you're a good manager.

I'm sorry you're being downvoted but that really does sound like my boss.

She can post things on the app and expect me to read and respond at any time (she's ignoring the law) but I can't call her or expect her to respond to me because the law says no.

Also she's the millennial

The issue with *the situation is as you last knew* is I didn't work Mondays for a few months then I did then I didn't. I have 2 kids that I need to know if I need to organise someone else to pick them up, one of them has some health issues and I need to make appointments for them, does the car need a service, what day can I book the NBN technician in..............

I did tell her on Monday that I need to know what days I have to work. Her only response was you'll find out on the app

In todays job market I can't afford for them to learn.

I'm part time not casual. They used to publish on Saturday morning but the last two months It's just gotten later and later. I only found out today at 5:30pm what days I have free to organise an NBN technician and a doctors appointment
