Ummm... Wrong! Actually, Disagreeable, I DID show up for work, only after spending hours on end every week for almost three months trying to find people to cover or swap my shifts. I was there for every last shift or was forced to use work points. I'm sorry, but you need to read information a little closer before proceeding to make judgments about people that are simply seeking help. Once the holiday schedule came out, and everyone was scheduled for extended hours and shifts, finding someone to cover the assigned full time shifts became impossible. The reason I left was because I could not work the full time shift and not showing up meant that they would eventually fire me anyway which would have been a blemish on my work history. And yes, the child care issue is my problem, but when an employer assures you that they can schedule you for the hours you are available and claim to be flexible with work and family dilemmas, the problem IS theirs because they were making false promises. So how is pleading with every manager, including the store Manager, and being promised that the scheduling error would be corrected for two straight months turn into me "failing to show up for work and willfully not working. How am I "willfully not working?" I came to this website to get legitimate advise, not to be railroaded by someone who doesn't understand the situation, then make the claim of not being sympathetic... Really? And yes, I have applied for every type of aid under the sun, but to only be denied because of the amount of child support I am receiving, which by the way does not cover my $3800 a month rent plus bills in one of the most expensive areas in the country to live in, and yes, I am in Grad schools trying to increase my chances of getting better employment opportunities. So please do me a favor and try to actually give helpful advice rather that stating facts that are obviously anything but. Better yet, don't respond at all to avoid any unnecessary drama.
