My work is cutting my hours from 6 days a week (40 hours) to 2 days (9 hours) for no reason. I’ve asked about imporvment I can make and I was told I’m picking up all the things I need to quick (I started in August) and with me being pregnant I’m doing great. They than compared me to 3 girls who have been there for over 3 years each trying to say I need to be like them and work as they do, I wasn’t mad about this and understood than I was talking to my work friend about this and apparently they all started as 5-7ers for almost a year and where trained, I wasn’t trained and worked 6 closing shifts in a row my first week. Everything they’ve told me to do I’ve done without questions and i always clock in 10 minutes early and clock out late, every night. I’m not prefect and know I have room for improvement but if I’m doing “so great” why are my hours being cut? They straight up told me I need a 2nd job if I wanna provide for my baby.

I also found out because of a joke I made within the first week of me being there (all the mangers I had worked with where really chill and made jokes about literally everything and than I worked with one manger and he asked me PIck something up from a puddle of piss in the men’s bathroom and I said “minimum wage minimum effort” a joke which I had made to other managers and they laughed and I did what he asked literally right after I said that. I know it wasn’t professional and I sent him a paragraph apologizing to how I acted and saying how I was just trying to joke around and I didn’t mean to offend him at all and i was sorry I had and I would be professional once more. And I have been.) really fucked me over. He is the scheduling manger and nit picks everything and is probably the one who cuts my hours.

One other thing is I was told I called work “a relaxing thing for me” implying it’s not important to me and I don’t take it seriously but I actually said “I’d rather be here than at my house because here is more relaxing and inviting feeling than my house” I have a lot of home problems and everyone I work with knows that, I wasn’t insinuating my job is a peaceful thing for me I was calling it better than my house.

I’m very thankful to be given a job I just wish the effort I put into my job was enough.
