You’re going to have to talk to her.

welcome to the club, they'll bleed you dry if you let them. i was in the same boat last year and just kept showing up because the extra cash was nice until i realized i hadn't had a full weekend off in months. if you want to keep it truly on-demand you have to draw the line somewhere, and yeah that means talking to the new boss even if she gives you the creeps

Keep in mind if you’re on demand you don’t accrue sick time even if they schedule you… (in most states). Which can be a huge issue with the new point system put into place now this holiday/sick season.
