staples associate ughhh
so im 18 and i work at staples... lately ive been a little unsatisfied by their system. I hate how they just make the scheduale without consulting any of us in advance about days we prefer or can work. They make the scheduales 2 weeks in advance when i dont even know yet if i can work and its summer so a lot of times my mom will randomly be like oh you cant work that day we have a doctor appt or we have to go do this or something and a lot of times its too late to change the day yoiu work. This really frustrates me and i told them a million times i cant work fridays and saturdays and they always put me on fridays and saturdays and im sick of having to go up to them every week to talk about my scheduale.. im considering quitting because also the managers treat all of us poorly... any advice??

Find a job that is a better fit for you.
It is perfectly normal for a schedule to be set two weeks in advance. It's also very, very normal for employees to be expected to work some weekends, especially if they have low seniority.
Those things can be tough to deal with, especially when you are teen and have family obligations that you aren't in complete control of.
You aren’t getting what you need from this job, and frankly, they aren’t getting what they need from you if you are always having to change your schedule and shuffling things around.
So quit. Find a job where they are more understanding and flexible. You should be up front about when you can and can’t work, and how many hours you are looking for each week.
It’s good to have a bad job as a teen! It helps you learn how to balance and communicate with your employer. It also helps you to recognize when it’s time to just call it quits. Now is a good time. Remember what I said about weekends and scheduling before and talk to your mom about what you need from her in order to arrange your work time and family time, then take your new skills and find someplace else to work.
