What happened to my Monday to Friday? What happened to my 9 to 5? Why am I here every weekend now? You changed my contract on me and I didn’t complain because I need the money. I’m tired of working 10+ days in a row. Please have a kind heart and hire more staff. —Exhausted

Stress leave, short term disabiity claim.
Tell your boss that you’ll be putting in for them, if you can’t get back on days.
Nobody can “change” your contract on you……..do you REALLY have a contract? Is there a collective agreement? Call 1-800-Your-Boss-Will-Suck-My-Cock-In-Court to get this rectified ASAP.
you poor fucking baby, be glad you have a job to go to. many don’t, and would trade you places in a second. that is unless you are downtown bumming for cash.then again, maybe we all should give up the humdrum rat race, and join all you lazy motherfuckers on the corners.
You asked for more hours, and now you complain? Then quit and find a job that suits you.
jees no sympy here eh. Well i do, you can still be in a job and unhappy at being overworked, i had a job where they would come to me on friday at 5pm and say they needed something for monday and i had to go in in the weekend just to get it done for them without a thank you. You have up to 30 days if they change a contract on you to say something about it, and thats the whole point you have to agree with it although it sounds like you already have.
Talk to your manager see what you can do, but never just think theres one job, there is a few out there so just keep on looking. I hope you sort it out anyway.
