While I agree that the inconsistency sucks, and it's gotta blow getting off work at 11 and having to be there at 7 the following morning...it looks like he's trying to make it fair. You work early Friday, she works late. She works early Saturday, you work late. Whatever his motive is, he's at least TRYING to be fair.
Look at it this way, she's only working 1 early shift a week. The rest of the time, she's on the 3-11 shift. And her and Paul NEVER work together.
I don't know, I guess it's because I used to make schedules for a retail store..and I can understand what your manager is going through...that this doesn't seem that bad to me. Nobody is ever happy with a schedule...EVER. And every single person will bitch at you for it. I'm sure the chick he's boning isn't happy working opposite shifts of him every day, and working the late shift every day except one.
She goes to school during the day and was specifically hired to work 2nd shift...she doesn't want to/can't work 1st shift. And no one works together...it is just one person at a time so that's not really a valid complaint for her to have. Honestly...she has zero room to complain at all. This schedule benefits her as much as it possibly can. He's not being fair in the least. He is scheduling himself and her in a way that will allow them to hang out 3 nights a week. Meanwhile I have no life and am working 3 clopeners a week.
The fair thing to do would be to work 3-11 on her days off and 7-3 on my days off...which is exactly what used to happen until they started dating. I have had the same schedule for months and then it suddenly chnages. Hmmmmm.
I know you can't make everyone happy...I also used to make schedules. But this is literally ridiculous. I am the only person that's having to compromise and work a shitty schedule.
