Hi, I work in a shift based job. Most of the girls who work in my area are much younger than me and very clicky and friendly with each other.
since i started about 8 weeks ago i have been messed around week after week with them making demands to work together and my shift being moved last minute because of this. ~I have said that i understand in the job things have to change every so often and im ok with that, but not when its for an unreasonable reason such as them wanting to work together! They have asked and I have said no to changing shifts and so they then start causing hassle and making demands to get their own way, even blackmailing saying they wont work unless they get to work together.
When i have brought up my griefance i keep getting told that they are young and i should make allowances for their childish behaviour! I find this shocking that they are allowed to get away with such behaviour and im being told as im older i know better than to be like that but should understand they are young and dont have my life experience! serious?
I agreed to work on my day off until they started playing up and I said i didnt want the grief and i would just have my day off and i was put on a guilt trip and my reasons not to work were questioned even though one of these young girls claimed she had no car this day and even though having a car is part of the job she wasnt even questioned over it even tho it was her agreed hours to work! yet i was questioned and offered alternatives to try and make me work my day off!
i feel i am being treated unfairly based on being older.. or am i over reacting?
this has happened every week since i started!
