Just started at a consulting firm and this weekend thing is confusing. My senior manager sprung a Saturday shift on me for the first time, and I wasn't sure how to say no. I'm already putting in extra hours during the week, and having that free time was important. Now I'm worried I messed up by agreeing.

So, how often do you all ACTUALLY work weekends? And is it a big deal if you push back sometimes, especially when you're already swamped during the week?

So, I started working full-time at a retail store for clothing and accessories and after a brief dispute with my supervisor (my bike broke down which made me come in 20 minutes late to y shift) they told me that it seems like working is not my priority, so to make it easier on me I would only get 20 hours a week. Things are tight as it is, I can't start working half-time. Please someone share some advice or any job opportunities you've seen out there
