Today, my boss got mad at me because I told her that I wouldn't be able to work two days out of the week, due to college classes. She then cut back my hours so much that I now only work one day a week. I got the job in the first place to pay for my college classes. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my boss reprimanded me for not finishing my work on time. Yesterday, she cut an hour from my schedule every day until further notice. FML
Today I was fired from my job. They fired me because they couldn't work around my college schedule. The only reason they hired me was because they were looking for college students and without a job I can't go back to school. FML
Today, I handed in my 2 weeks notice, since I have to leave for college soon. My boss told me it was fine, then cut all my remaining shifts. FML
Today, I found out that my mom called my boss informing him that I am a little behind on some college projects. She felt he should know that she fears I might not be able to graduate on the planned date. My boss had already offered me a permanent job. I may not get that job now. FML
Today, I found out I'm getting a pay cut, a week after I told my boss I need a raise or second job just to afford bills. I made the company 10k last week. FML
Today, I shouldn't have told my boss that I was interested in management. She now throws any problem she doesn't want to solve at me and either gets mad when I can't work it out or takes credit when I do. FML
Today, my boss found out I had applied for a much better paying job. He told me I'd do a better job and make more money there. Then he fired me. FML
Today, my boss called me and asked why I haven't been showing up to work. I didn't show up because he fired me last week over the phone. Then he fired me again for not showing up to work. FML
Today, I found out via a voicemail from my boss that my hours are being cut. He said, "They said I can't fire you, so you'll only be getting 20 hours a week. Starting today." Who'd they give my other 20 hours to? The one person that calls off sick almost daily and is never on time. FML
Today, my boss told me I was fired 3 weeks ago because there's no money to pay me, meaning that I worked the last three weeks for free. FML

That's really rude, at least you offered to work 5 days

Don't worry, OP! Now you have more time to stress over classes and the finals they bring! Who needs financial income when you've got stress keeping you going!

I know how you feel. I'm in class once a week and I have a volunteer job on Saturdays but I can work every other day but she still schedules me for as little as once a week, sometimes even zero days a week. She even cuts your hours when she gets mad at you

I'm actually dealing with something similar atm, though not as bad.

This is a very common occurrence when someone is trying to work their way through college. It sucks. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I got fired from my job because I'd only be able to work 3 days a week due to my college classes. I was only working one day a week before that

Companies don't hire you for your convenience. They hire you to fill a need. If you don't meet that need, they will hire somebody else. Welcome to the real world.

They did that to bait you into quitting. Try to hang in there if you can for a couple weeks then ask for the hours you need to accommodate your schedule. If they refuse fond a new job then put in your 2 weeks.

I used to get called in the middle of class to come in at that exact moment, and i was always like "no, i told y'all when you hired me that I could do any evening shift". They called me on a day off like hey we want you to cover this shift at this other location right now, even though you have class

Something similar happened to me. I filed and recieved underemployment. Once management discovered they were pretty much paying me whether I was there or not they decided to pick my hours back up.
