Okay, so I requested to work only the late night shift on Wednesday through Friday of this week because I have four-day passes to the Petit Le Mans and I want to be there every day for as long as I'm allowed. Well, her idea of "nights" means coming in at 4:30 and missing at least half of the events before the main race. Now, here's where it gets REALLY shitty: There will be someone else doing my job until 7:30. Two people doing a one-man job for three hours. When I noticed this and requested to come in at 7:00 instead, she told me that from now on, the night shift will cover the mid shift for their break and vice-versa. Oh, and get this: If I started at 6:30 and they left then, too, neither of us would be working enough hours to get a break anyway— and we have to temporarily clock out for our one-hour breaks. So the other guy would get the exact same hours and I would be paid for one LESS, and we would be able to accomplish the EXACT same amount of work as we will with this genius new plan. In short, there is no reason for me to miss this stuff except that my schedule lies in the hands of an incompetent moron.

I had to quit to get away from a manager like that. Totally screwed me over and my other stuff was a second job they promised to work around.

Oh god, that's much worse. At least I can afford to miss out on my stuff. (although, if you factor in the value of the tickets, I might be effectively losing money. But still.)

Yeah, it came to the point where my second job, which payed better per hour and gave m more hours with a lot more room to advance told me to choose. I had no problem calling her and telling her I quit. Worst part was there were only three people who did my job and I figured out what the ideal shifts were for all of us and it worked perfectly and provided the same coverage and she refused to accept it because she didn't do it.

Often times, I've found that managers feel too bad admitting (or checking to see if, yes, you are correct) that they didn't schedule you optimally that they refuse to change the hours, despite the fact that they don't really think much about how and why they're scheduling your hours the way they are.
