I don’t like the feeling of feeling guilty when my manager calls me to see if I can come in on my off day because of extreme shortage she asked me on three different occasions and I feel bad saying no. I work 3-12 hr shifts , back to back , I’m 61 years old and I cross train so I do have the energy for my shifts but I don’t have extra energy. Also, our job has become so boring and repetitive because the company restructured our jobs. We have same young people exceeding their call offs !

You shouldn't feel guilty at all. 3 12s in a row is a lot, I would have no interest in coming in for another either. Staffing shortages are management's problem to solve, not yours. Let them figure it out and keep enjoying your limited time off!!

Don't feel guilty! Mental health is a real thing. If you don't take care of yourself. Who can take care of these individuals? I was that person. Granted yes I am 33 years old. I worked 180+ hours every 2 weeks because I couldn't say no. I did it for almost 4 years straight. My mental health got to me. And now. Working the same line of work. I work my 40 hours and I say no. I have a life. It's sad. There is such a shortage in our line of work. I feel like it's mostly because people get burnt out and quit.

I agree. Don't feel guilty, enjoy your days off. I'm 51 & work a lot of hours to cover my schedulers butt. However, I'm done covering for her & her inability to schedule employees properly. That's management's issue to deal with. Sadly, they will continue to call you as long as you keep going in when they ask you to. Let them figure it out. It's one thing to help out on occasion but I think they are taking advantage of you. Just my opinion. 🤠

I'd consider not answering the phone.

I agree with the others, I would not feel guilty! It's not mandatory and it sounds like it's also unfair. They should get a handle on their team to address the root cause.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
