Reddit Stories | My Boss DEMANDS I Work Weekends Since I Don't Have a Family... AITA?

Description

I've been working at this deli for two years with a rock-solid Monday through Friday schedule that keeps my life balanced, but our new corporate-minded manager just tried to blow it all up. He posted a new schedule moving me to full weekend shifts, and when I tried to explain that I coach kids' gymnastics on Saturdays and volunteer at my church on Sundays, he completely shut me off. He had the nerve to tell me that because I don't have a spouse or kids, my time isn't as valuable as the rest of the staff's, and that it's "not fair" to ask people with families to work weekends when I'm single. It is incredibly insulting to hear that my responsibilities don't count just because they don't involve a marriage license or a diaper change. I've never been late and I've covered for my coworkers countless times, yet I'm being told to "step up" and abandon twenty kids who call me coach just so the manager can look good for his bosses. He told me the schedule was final and that I could leave if I didn't like it, which feels like a total slap in the face after two years of loyalty. I love my job and the stability it brings, but I'm not about to let someone treat my personal life like a blank space that's only there to fill his gaps. The idea that single people owe their weekends to their married coworkers is a toxic mindset that needs to stay in the past. My commitments to my community and the seniors I help at church are just as real as anyone else’s soccer practice or family dinner.
