I have been at my current job since March 2021. I have had 2 promotions since I got hired. My problem is that they have changed my schedule, without notice, 4 times now. They have changed my days and office hours to work later in the day. I don't have any kids, so they use that as an excuse for no notice because I "don't have any personal schedules to work around". I may be a bit naive, but can a manager change my schedule like that with no notice? I'm considering getting another job due to it.

If schedules were discussed and you set boundaries then NO they cannot just do whatever they want because they still have to respect your flexibility. And also never tell an employer anything about your personal life e.g kids or not because they don’t care honestly and when they know you don’t have kids it gives them leeway to THINK you have no life outside of the job.

They can do whatever they want, but you can decide you’re not willing to put up with it and leave. Good luck!

As a Manager, we can change your schedule at any time. If I change any of my employees schedule, I will communicate with them prior to making the changes. It’s very inconsiderate to adjust someone schedule with out including your employee in. You never know what another individual has going on in their personal life.

OP just because you don’t have any kids that doesn’t mean you don’t have a life. I would think there would be need to be a 30 day advance notice on them changing your hours because you have plans right?

Two ways. Tell them you need to take care of your mom/dad on certain days/hours. Or…
Tell them you have physical therapy for certain days/hours. On either scenario they cannot ask for proof because it’s against HIPAA regulations where no one can have access to anyone’s medical records.

They said above that their mom works for the company so that’s not an option.

It’s not against HIPAA to ask for proof. It would be against HIPAA for the drs office to provide it to the employer if they called the office directly.

What industry are you in?

When they changed my schedule this last time, it required us to hire another part time employee to cover the gaps that I was covering.

Went from a big firm to work for a smaller firm. The people in the smaller firm are protective of their work and are good by their work too. I no longer feel chaos or stress. I am treated with respect and my schedule is more normal. I am even working more billable hours than before, but it feels like a seamless experience. I don’t work then past 5pm or anything out of the ordinary for this time of the year. I am so grateful!
