So I woke up this morning to 9 missed calls from my manager. She changed the rota on Thursday and it says I have to work today from 6am to 2pm but originally I was off today. I can't come in anyway as I've arranged for meetings with tutors at uni. I check my emails every day but I must have missed it at the time as I'm only human! I feel really guilty for my colleagues so I copied them into a big massive sweaty apology to my manager so hopefully she feels bad for me and doesn't sack me lol.

But like at the end of the day I don't think I'm that much in the wrong? Like sorry I have a life and I'm not checking my emails vigorously 24/7 and I'm certainly not expecting a rota for the month that was 'finalised' almost 2 months ago to suddenly change. I didn't reply to her email about the changed rota so that gives her a clue I've not seen it and if she was that bloody desperate for staff she could've just phoned me.

She did, 9 times

But honestly, you're not in the wrong. She can't expect you to drop everything and work when plans have already been made and finalised months ago.

Yeah I didnt mean at 6am on the day of my shift fat. The email asked to confirm if I was available for that day and I didn't reply so she shouldn't just assume. Chick had 3 days to phone me and check

Exactly!! It's ridic

LeatherTrumpet · 15-10-2018, 09:15 AM

Of course you are in the wrong. She sent you notification of the change and you ignored it.

Sorry but I was sent a 'finalised' October rota in the middle of September so I didn't know or think it would be changed. Also how can I ignore something I haven't seen and didn't know existed until now

Jordan. · 15-10-2018, 09:18 AM

She can't be pressed she should have asked you in person not through an email

Exactly or even phoned me! She literally said "please email to confirm you are available for the updated rota" and I didn't do that so it's her own bloody fault!

Greg! · 15-10-2018, 09:46 AM

How do you work that one out then

Greg! · 15-10-2018, 09:47 AM

Oh and the difference is she's actually told me in person about it as well

she sent an email to update you, if you miss that its your fault. I expect your inbox is not cleared and organised daily and it probably a mess of undeleted and unorganised emails

If you missed the email its your fault. I expect if she called you and you missed the call you would be moaning that "normally I get an email"

?

If she called or texted me there wouldn't be an issue as I get notifications and that's how people tend to talk to eachother in 2018

Cal. · 15-10-2018, 09:57 AM

I’d have rung you after the first day of no reply to the email. The blame lies with her!

Any minute now we will be getting

"if it were me I would have come round your gaff and spoke to you in person and offered to work your shift, the lazy cow, what kind of boss is she"

you’re not in the wrong, and idk if you’re just playing along with what LT is saying, but he’s just trying to wind you up

Can you not Demand your Manager to Phone you?
if your rota changes etc.

Cherie · 15-10-2018, 10:15 AM

She should have followed up when she got no response to the email, if she was a good manager she would have checked that the email didn't go astray and follow up with a telephone call

DrunkerThanMoses · 15-10-2018, 10:23 AM

Nah they are in the wrong... They should have confirmed it with you.

Something similar happened to me the other month where they put the new rota up on Thursday like usually and I took a photo of that one unaware they changed it the next day and one of the fridays off i had was changed to a morning shift. I made plans on that Friday morning but only saw the extra a week before. I went in the office and told her the problem and showed her on my phone the picture of the rota i took.... She got a bit funny saying that it says on the rota that it was displayed on the fridays date. In the end she let me off and found cover
