I get to meet with the zone manager and shift manager tomorrow about my school schedule. I already got the gyst that they do not like this semester's schedule, nor do they care about homework loads vs work loads, and they likely expect me to work the same hours.
Tomorrow is the day of reckoning. If they want to play hardball, I am going to request to talk to the next manager higher. I've been told by several other managers that I can work reduced hours, and was even told that by the co-manager when I was first hired concerning school.
I have made the 4.0 GPA and Dean's List twice in the last year. I am not going to let that drop if I can help it, and everything else be damned. Five years in the Army to get this one shot at college? Yeap, not going to drop the level of effort I put into it regardless. And that is the reason I will give them if they play "well, this is your job" games. I am generally an accommodating and easy going worker at anything, but for the first time in my life, I feel I can afford to stand firm and get fired if need be.
Knowing my luck, it'll all come off very well, but I like to beat the war drums a bit in preparation for the worst in case that happens.
