Work

This seems irritating.. When you have to find someone because you are not available.. What if you can't find somebody? Good that you love your job, because otherwise I would just stay home and let them find someone themselves..

Let's give your manager the benefit of the doubt. Maybe something came up, something that they had no way of knowing about. With so many people unemployed right now, many reading your post will not feel sorry for you at all. There are many jobless people who have been unable to find a job or or under-employed who would take your job in a heartbeat and would welcome being called back to work under almost any circcumstances just so they can keep their home and put food on the table. Sounds like your employer is trying to cut back by scheduling you for only one day this week. However, they may have thought they were doing you a favor by calling you back and giving you an opportunity to earn extra money. I know it can be frustrating when you plan family or other events and work conditions change them, but try to look on the sunny side and be grateful that you have a job. Maybe you will have your boss's job one day and then you can change things and do it right.

I understand the frustration that you have but on the other hand, maybe you are already the alternative that they have? And when you said no to them, they are totally out of alternatives and thus the frustration. I am not saying that what they do is correct but if anyone encounters a problem which they can't solved, they will definitely be in a bad mood thus, it answers the part about them giving you a very bad attitude. As long as you stick to your "no" which you had the right to, just let them continued with their own frustration and don't get mad for it's ain't your problem. Why let them affect your mood which should be a family day for you and your family.

Whether you love your job or not, you were right not to go, especially if it wasn't your normal shift. I know management has to cut back, but they do not do it fairly. One day? What can you do with that? You can't pay a single bill off of one day's pay. Furthermore, it's insulting to cut your hours down like that and then expect you to jump through hoops for them. When your manager called it sounds like she wasn't professional either. Kudos to you for standing your ground.
