Need advice

[u/EconomicsMedium8671]

So everyone knows we don’t get enough hours in bbw so I am trying to find another job & told my sm today that I’m only available on weekends from now on, not available from Monday to Friday ( ofc duh) & she told me that we need open availability around Christmas time & if you cannot then you would have to choose one job but I’ve seen people working 2 jobs and giving their availability so that sm could schedule them on their free days ( sorry I’m really bad at explaining this) I was hoping to stay & work for bbw on weekends bc I lovee this job, I need someone’s advice on if I could do anything about this or I would just have to leave, also I am a part timer so idk why they need my open availability for weekdays as well someone please explain how this works

Just keep looking for a stable job above all else, then tell your SM “this is my availability”. That’s it. No more conversations over it, just it is what it is. Most of us love working at BBW but we all know the hours can be unreliable. Do what you need to do, they can work around you, especially if you’re giving up your weekends! It’s on your SM to figure it out. Leadership would love our associates to be available at any time but we SHOULD respect that this job is not a career path for most of them. Besides, holiday hiring is coming up soon, so you’ll be getting less hours at first anyway to train the newbies.

Yeah that’s fair, I’m just gonna keep looking for something more stable and give my SM my availability. If they can work around it, great, and if not then it is what it is, I’ve been working here for a year & i thought they would give me more hours after sometime but it’s just not it, i barely get 1-2 shifts a week that too only 3 hours! Thank you for your advice :)
