My work has just been using and abusing me lately!!! UGH! I'm starting to lose my sanity now. I've been at work since 6pm last night, it's now 9:30 in the morning and I just got out of my first class.....which means I worked all night then came straight to class after 13.5 hours!!! To make matters worse I had already worked 15 hours 9 hours before work started again last night at 6! (confusing I know!)

Now the schedule came out for September and every weekend I'm working Saturday 5pm to 9am (16 hours) then coming in 8 hours later, working 5pm to 7:30am (13.5 hours). Is this even legal!?! I know you have to have 8 hours between shifts but I'm working 29.5 hours in a 37.5 hour period, then going straight to class and not getting home to sleep for another 8 hours.

We did have two people quit last week and I understand the schedule is crazy, but no one is working over time (because they don't want to pay it) and they are making me work 30 hours in a day and a half to make up for everyone so they don't have overtime.

I did agreed to work two 12 hour shifts every weekend (Sat 9pm to 9am and Sun 9pm to 7:30am-so I can make it to class). I did NOT agree to work essentially two double shifts in a row!!!!!

I am heated and will be calling my boss this afternoon/morning and telling her she needs to get this fixed or she will have 3 positions to fill and I won't be giving her the curiosity of a two week notice. PLEASE!!! Someone back me up and tell me this is illegal!

BTW I work with disabled people who live in a group home of sorts (5 people) and I work by myself until the next person comes in.
