When I was hired as seasonal, I put "15" as the number of hours I wanted to work. My max was 25. The most recent three weeks of schedule? 23.5, 24.5 and 25.5 hours. I guess I should have put "15" as my max, too. I feel like I spend all my free time at Target and I'm getting a little resentful. I don't mind the work, but 8 hours a day on each weekend day is just too much. I was thinking I'd be working three 4 or 5 hour shifts a week - instead as of tomorrow, I'll have worked 6 days straight - with Friday, Saturday and Sunday being 8 hours each - the entire long weekend for my kids; I barely saw them. I know that it was Thanksgiving week, but still . . . did I have to work Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday AND Monday?
Why wouldn't they give the hours to people who want the hours? Or hire another person? It seems like they are shooting themselves in the foot. I'm a good employee - always have been. But, while when I first started (and had a 13.5 hour training week), I thought . . . hmmm, maybe I'll try to stay on, now I'm thinking forget it. I don't want to spend 16 hours of every Saturday and Sunday away from my family.
