It's just baking powder! Doesn't even come with strong scents to burn their poor little noses.

My cats are spazzing. I put down (pet safe) carpet powder to deodorize the carpet to finish vacuuming and you would think I laid down some white death.

I was not a happy camper with my doctor. She insisted that she could handle my case when all I wanted was a referral to a high risk doctor.

I was given orange... I don't care for orange. But surprisingly, it was one of the only things that went down easy and stayed down while I was expecting.

My doctor was insistent that I was diabetic, so I had to do the glucose test and came back as not diabetic and she was so mad at being wrong that she wanted me to test again... and again.

She's not my doctor any more.

I currently work as a CNA providing care for clients in their home. Overall, I enjoy my job and it pays well, but the company I work for who sets up your schedule and what not really sucks.

To get to the point, about a month ago I told them that starting in January I could only work 15 hours a week because I am in school and my classes this semester are homework intensive.

A couple days ago, they called me and told me they need me to work 20 hours a week and I felt forced to say yes. I was hoping to make it work, but I learned that I really need those extra 5 hours for studying. You may be wondering why I said yes in the first place and the answer is because everytime I have said no to requests like this, they tell me I still have to do it. So basically they ask you out of courtesy, but if you give an answer they don't like they force you to do it.

Next week I am planning on telling them I am sorry, but I can't keep my commitment to work 20 hours a week because I don't have enough time to do my schoolwork. I know they will guilt trip me and tell me I still have to do it, so I guess my question is how do I respond?

Do I tell them I felt like I had no choice but to say yes in the first place? Do I threaten to quit? Honestly, if they can't respect my request to only work 15 hours a week I will quit because I am in school to get a better paying job which takes priority. However, I would much rather keep this job if possible because it pays well for a CNA.

If you already told them you can only work 15 hours a week, stick with that. Don't beat around the bush or sugarcoat it with too many "I'm sorry, but...". Sometimes you need to be a little assertive, otherwise, they'll keep asking you to work longer.

I have spent the last 4 days trying to cope with going into work and doing schoolwork and I have already decided there isn't enough time for me to do both so I put in my two weeks notice.

My classes this semester are pretty intense and require a lot of effort so even only working 15 hours a week doesn't give me enough time.

I walked off a job when the scheduler where I worked tried to force me into working more than I could. She nearly killed me two or three times all ready with over work. So you made the right call in putting in your two weeks notice.

As someone who's in university and also working about 20 hours a week, I understand the feeling and I think you made the right decision. It is quite a lot of effort to maintain a part time job while also keeping up with full time studies especially if your courses are homework intensive and require lots of time spent outside of the classroom. If the company can't respect your scheduling requests then it's probably better to just focus on school, or if you really want, try and find somewhere that's more accommodating of your scheduling needs.
I work as a supervisor at a grocery store and while my boss was definitely not happy about me telling her I can only do three days a week, she ultimately did respect that.

It is my second to last day and they asked me to work an extra shift today. I told them no and they responded by telling me I don't have a choice and that they are adding it to my schedule. I would walk out, but then I would be abandoning my client which I can't do.

I am not holding back at the exit interview tomorrow. I'm going to tell them just how shitty it has been working for them.

I am so sorry it is so hard. Why do bosses not listen? Don't they want to keep your experience?
You have to be tough to ensure your future. You have made the correct decision.
