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.

Basically gals I'm scared I'm going to get sacked

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

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.

Exactly!! It's ridic

[Crimson Dynamo]

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

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

[Cherie]

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

I mean she clearly had the number, why didn't she ring him to notify him of the shift change instead of sending an email, calling him would have ensured he got the message, even sending a text would have been a better choice.

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!

Absolutely she took it for granted and came unstuck - manage better and get things confirmed .

Its her fault entirely.

[Greg!]

well obvs, and it was sent at the usual time of the month with plenty of notice

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

No it's not. It's the person who has made the changes to the rota's responsibility to get confirmation that the relevant people have been notified.

Well I imagine any manager with a single bit of common sense would leave a voicemail and a request to be called back which, if it doesn't happen, is a pretty big indicator the person is not aware of any changes.

[Greg!]

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

[Cal.]

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"

[DrunkerThanMoses]

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
