Today, my hours got cut because I couldn't make it into work when they called me in. Why couldn't I make it in? I was in an interview for a better job. I didn't get the job. FML

Wow, people really don't understand how that works... Okay, if you've never had that happen to you, you shouldn't comment on it, really people don't show your stupidity... Let's say you work for Krogers (which until I got a better job, I recently did) Krogers will work you the minimum 8 hrs a week, and they'll call you in any other day that they may need you. Now, it's not fair because if they need you they should schedule you anyway, but since you're in a union (which Krogers is) you get only the minimum allowed hours weekly at just a few cents above minimum wage. If you don't come in when they call you in, they won't schedule you for any extra hours beyond what they HAVE to give you. If you come in all the hours that they didn't schedule you but called you in, they'll continue to give you full time hours on a part time allowance. It's a scam a lot of grocery stores and other retailers do to keep themselves with a cashier and you with as little as they can give you and every other employee... Like I said, if you don't know any better, you probably shouldn't comment on things like this... FYL OP

Sounds like what some idiot did at my job. Don't know if this is similar to the OP's case, but in our situation the guy lied about why he wasn't coming, got caught in the lie, and then cursed out the manager that called him out on the lie. Thing about most of these posts (whether they truly warrant attention or sympathy or not) is that they are skewed to the author's side of things. Getting hours cut is crappy, but there seems to be more to it than what you posted, that was just the management team getting tired of working with you.

they deserve it for not calling in or even realizing they have work. A guy on MSNBC was fired for this. So, ydi

Wow felt the need to comment because some people are idiots who can't read! the poster said "called in" They were on a day off and scheduled the interview on their day off and work wanted them to cover, most likely for someone sick, and they obviously couldn't do it. Their employer is an arsehole for cutting their hours over that, hope you get a better job soon OP!

you should've said you were stuck in traffic or something and you would be there as soon as you could. plus the reason you didn't get the job is probly because you answered your phone when you knew you were there for an interview
