Not to get into gun control and Americans, etc, but that's loving horrible that you need to do active shooter drills.

Try this: Toddlers in my son's daycare are given lollipops during drills at school, so they don't cry and give away their hiding places to hypothetical gunmen.

And on top of that imagine being 74 years old. It looks funny as hell but at the same time you know it's a loving nightmare for that poor woman. Good thing she didn't asphyxiate on her own vomit, I sure as hell would have puked and choked to death in that situation.

Nah, inertia would have propelled it straight out, no chance to aspirate.

... until 360 degrees later when you ran back into it.

Yup.

And he goes to a Jewish daycare, which shouldn't matter but naturally now the US is a rising hotbed of neonazis and other antisemitic bigotry.

THE gently caress IS THIS poo poo?!?

I was hired for overnights. Up until a few minutes ago, my schedule for next week was showing "see manager" (acceptable since the schedule doesn't actually post until noon). I was hired for overnights - 10pm-7am normally.

I have a 10am to 7pm shift thrown in. First shift of the week, and it's the one day we don't get a truck (we just work backstock on that day), but it's outside of my written availability. I can roll with it, but I'm gonna wind up dropping on coffee to get through the day. I don't touch caffeine in general, so if I'm hitting coffee, you know I'm desperate. I'm hoping it's a fat-fingered AM/PM, we'll see when I look at the paper schedule tomorrow.

The rest of the week is all frozen - guess they were desperate enough to like me over there.

Nope. If you were hired for nights (and it's in writing), a day shift should be after discussion only, potentially treated like OT/holiday with a pay differential. If someone were hired with a written stipulation of dayshift only, no way an employer could casually throw in a night shift without the employee rightfully raising a huge stink, and the same should go with this.

This would be handled as follows in every state but Montana:

Not if it's in his contract, it isn't.

Contract? In a retail gig?

Hahahahahahaha.

I think his OP said he had the agreement in writing.
