I am tired of listings that say "flexible schedule" when they actually mean you have to be available 24/7 while they give you twelve hours a week. I asked a hiring manager for a set Sunday off for childcare, and they basically ended the interview right there. Is it even possible to find a service job that respects a life outside of the building, or have we all just accepted that our souls belong to the roster?

Unfortunately, these are the times we are living in. Flexibility is only going in one direction and that is the employer.

Thanks for the response!!

Have you been fired before even starting your new job?

I signed for a new job two months ago and will start next month (3 mo notice period in Europe). They were very keen on getting me on-board ASAP before signing but since I signed the contract it has been silent from the new employee. I've emailed them with questions as I'll be re-locating to NL and it takes them 1-2 weeks to reply. Given all that's going on in the world, I'm worried they might fire me before I even start.
