Just need to vent... Work are really pressuring me to up my hours 🤦♀️ I've always been honest with them that I fit work around my family & not the other way around. Just before Christmas they got quite angry I refused then we agreed to leave it & move on... So I thought. Twice this week they've bought it up again. I come across as selfish as other staff have upped their hours & obviously working through a pandemic has been challenging for everyone. But it's also reminded me that yes my family time IS more precious than earning a few extra hours (which would go towards after school club anyway so wouldn't actually be earning that much more). But their making out I need to chip in & help the team out so then I feel bad! Anyways it's just frustrating me atm & I can't moan about this to anyone but the hubby so needed a rant!

Selfish, no not at all! Are they taking the piss or what ? How can they be angry with you that’s ridiculous on their side. The only people you need to help out is you and your family. I’m angry for you!

Haha I know I walked home so angry today because my manager bought it up again as I was leaving! It doesn't help that she's a Mum of 3 & she works 7am-6pm 4days a week. So in her eyes it can be done! I've told them yes it can be done but I don't want to! They don't understand why I don't wanna put them in after school clubs & work longer hours. So when I respond with because I don't want to! They get angry 🤦♀️

Anything is possible , if that’s what she wants to do that’s her choice but it doesn’t mean you want to do the same and it’s shitty of them to be pressuring you like this. I just read that they questioned why your partner can’t take the boys , what the actual hell 🤨 it’s not their business , no wonder you are angry how rude and intrusive of them. They have no right to pressure or be angry at you. They need you more than you need them by the sounds of it x

I think its selfish of them putting that onto you! If you can't or don't want to do it then don't and stand your ground with it. Its not fair the way their making you feel!

I don’t think that’s selfish at all. You are fully in your right. Your contract is for those hours, that’s what you’ve agreed to! Don’t let them change it to suit them!

They just particularly annoyed me today because they asked why Rob couldn't take the boys to school for breakfast club so I can start earlier. Again Rob could take the boys but why should he? My hours are my hours which we agreed on ages ago. They just keep saying well circumstances change & they need me to change or at least try to work with them & compromise.

It sounds like they've been guilt tripping everyone, but you're the only one or one of the last few who hasn't given in.
It's hard to remember not to feel guilty when you're in the moment. It's hard to keep the mentality that you're not in the wrong when those higher up make it seem like you're being unreasonable or selfish.
These are common tactics used to ignore the needs of their workers and it's just plain shitty.
You said what you said. Let them simmer in it and figure something out.
