Today, my coworker offered to work if the weather got bad, since she lives in town and I don't. Today is also the day she changed her mind, since she "didn't know how bad it was actually going to get". She's the one on the schedule for today's 12-hour shift. FML

Well how you wrote it, she's the one on the schedule not you. Shouldn't be a problem then?

We have a general rule for swapping shifts at my work. Once it's in the system/a manager is notified of the shift change, the shift is the new worker's responsibility & if they don't make or get coverage, it it's the new worker's fault. I haven't had many jobs but this seems pretty standard.

<p>I hope you stayed home; if she's the one scheduled than it's on her.</p>

Yea, it's really annoying when people don't/can't keep their word.

<p><a href="../user/1451026107">xercister</a>: Why is it OP's fault if her coworker - who's officially scheduled to work on a day of bad weather - decides to stay home?</p>

<p>That sucks. Its not your fault if someone else is going to be irresponsible though - don't come in for her, because not only will she think its okay to flake whenever she wants, your job will probably take advantage of you and expect you to come in when other people flake. Been there, done that..Don't do it!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I remember when I switched shifts with a co-worker because I had bought tickets to an event 3 hours away in New York City and the manager had forgotten to give me t

Once you agree to work a shift it's officially your shift, so it sounds like your friends about to no call no show.

That's sort of how it works where I work. My boss has said that if the person doesn't show up, we are to call the original one and they are to come in since the replacement didn't come.

<p>My phone would definitely be "out of service" that day. Once a switch is made, it should under no circumstances be the responsibility of the original scheduled person to work the shift. At every place I've ever worked at, that's how it was - once that change to the schedule is made, it's your baby. It's literally not my problem that they or their kid got sick or they had a flat tire or whatever. You picked up the day, you committed to it, it's your problem.&nbsp;</p>

<p>She offered to work and the change was processed in the schedule, so you are not responsible for her not showing up. You are also not inclined to show up since you were given the approval to have the day off. I work in the medical field and believe me, I have witnessed coworkers in the same position before. By no means you would get into trouble, but I can understand how this is a FML since you feel like it is your fault that work is understaffed. However, like I said before, she offered and
