Professionally speaking...always keep your policy and procedure handbook where you can get it.  Your policy and procedure handbook covers this and other problems you may encounter on the job and the chain of command for handling issues such as this.  Most jobs mandate that when there is a NO CALL- NO SHOW, the employee getting ready to go home must stay for no more than a half hour.  Well, that's how it was for the last two shift jobs I have had, the last one is still current.  After then it is the managers job to fill the spot.  If you can not get a concise answer from your P&P book, talk to management.  You really do not have time to play on the phone on company's time.  I hope that didnt sound too mean.  I am just saying, be cool and professionally handle these issues.  And as for the NC/NS, let administration handle that.  you just continue to do the best you can in your job responsibilities. Do not let lower level management hound you into a corner.  Review your manual.  This is not intended to be harsh. It is just straight up.

No. My poor husband had to work, though! He's an assistant manager at a retail electronics store. His manager told him to be there by 5 a.m. - and they were going to be written up if they didn't, or were late. So - he was there at a quarter till 5; the MANAGER didn't show up till 5.30!

Depends on if he works or goes to school, he may be letting you know that he will not be there. If it is after the hours and he is there, then I would wonder why he dosen't want you calling.

I think it depends on if you enjoy your job or not, I mean, if you dont like it than quit! that is if you have another job. If the time schedule is inconvienient, talk to your boss.

I'm not going to pretend that I know what it is like to do the 7 on 7 off schedule, but the transition from day to night is rough. I invested in those room darkening blinds ($10 at Walmart) and stole a pair of ear plugs from the factory I worked for. If you're in a factory, you probably agree that the industrial ear plugs are good enough that you don't hear the trash man outside, but weak enough that you can hear the alarm. The new blinds didn't make my room pitch black at night, but it helped. As far as switching the schedules, try to push yourself on Friday (or whatever your last work day is) to not go to sleep until anywhere from 8-10 that night. It'll wear you out enough that you won't be up before the crack of dawn. You'll also get enough sleep that you can enjoy the weekend "properly". Also, try to get on a sleep schedule as soon as possible. If you stick to the same schedule everyother week your body will get more used to it quicker. ie. don't stay up til noon one day and get in bed at 8 the next.

I work at a Wal-Mart where one of the biggest problems we suffer from are no shows and call-ins (call offs, to you).  If you suggested you could do fill-ins, I'd say, uh, NO.  Reliability is necessary, and prior history tells me otherwise.\n\nI'd suggest finding a job elsewhere, because it's harder to repair a reputation than build one.

Hi Wylien, \n  I can't pick you up cause I don't have no car and I have to GO to work and I need a ride. So if you get someone to pick you up, can you have him/her stop by my place and pick me up, then they can drop you off and bring me to work, then they can go back to bar to see you. \nI can't lose another job for being late. This will be the third this month!!! Help me please!!

This is because managers want you at work when you are supposed to be there.  If you have a schedule of work hours - you are scheduled between those specific hours for a reason, so that they have coverage to conduct their business.  Being late & absent regularly does not put you in favor with your manager.  They are not looking to do you favors & help you out, let's just be realistic.  By them telling you that the hours can't be made up, they are sort of punishing you too.  I am sure you don't get paid for hours that you don't work so they aren't going to reward you for being late by allowing you to make up the time & money.

Do you have a sign?\n\n\nI stayed late at work one night and a co-worker looked at me and said, "Are you still here?" I replied, "No. I left about 10 minutes ago. Here's your sign."

Not trouble per se just consequences. Do you have sick leave? Are you frequently late or fail to show up at all? Did you call in to tell them that you were sick prior to work shift?Ask to see the Human Resources/company  guidelines in writing governing sick absences. Be professional!!! No yelling or screaming.Stick with the facts only. Request a review from the higher ups and/ or the Labor Board. Peace.

Ah the world of shift work. I work 12 hour days and 12 hour night shifts and talk about exhausted. You need to go easy on youself and allow yourself a recovery day, especially after nights. Go easy on the coffee, eat healthy ,regular small meals or snacks ,at work  or home,since big meals can add to the tiredness. I tend to stress out a bit on the night before I start my day shifts so I take a low dose of sleep-aid, half the normal dose, on that night. I guess I am worried about waking up on time(0430), and what I am going into. (I work as a nurse in a large jail) After my first shift back I tend to relax and can sleep better. I also prepare all my meals before going back to work so I don't do any cooking at all on the days I work. LOL.

Not tonight. I'm currently off sick but when at work I quite often have to work at all hours (I'm a coach driver)

Sometimes, it can go wacky for a bit until it goes back to normal. You just switched it off a schedual and it needs to adjust.

I work at a call centre, but during the day shift, which is ok. My work mates who do the night shift though don't have a bad deal: they get way more money for working the nights and there isn't even 1/3rd the calls that I get in the morning.\nIf you can stand working through the night, the fact that it's a call centre should not be a problem.

We are in the same boat. I lost my job the other day for being "too quiet." They said that I worked hard and didn't do anything wrong but they wanted someone more out going.How stupid is that? All you can do is pick youself up and try again.Good Luck! Oh and in the mean time try to enjoy your day off. God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory.

I have. I used to work two jobs so sleep was a luxury for me, it was about 12:30 am just after midnight I was pulled over and was told that I was drinking, I had just come from work at a warehouse filled with food products but not a drop of alcohol on the premises anywhere, after an illegal search of my car and about five Breathalyzer test (he accused me of holding my breath) he finally let me go.
