College student quits job over ‘stupid’ scheduling conflict: ‘It's not your responsibility

A college student abruptly quit her job when her employer needed her. She took to Reddit’s “Am I the A******” forum to find out if she was justified. The student grew increasingly frustrated when her employer refused to accommodate her exam schedule with three months’ advance notice. “I had made it very clear at the beginning before I was hired before I did any training and even mentioned it during the interview that I put my school first,” she wrote. “That does mean that if I have an exam I will need a half-day the day before and a day off during the exam. I made it aware to all the supervisors, assistant managers and the manager”. She provided three months’ advance notice and they told her it was OK, only that she needed to remind them closer to the date . “I also recorded the conversation and made a note myself so they don’t try to pull s---. Cue panic attack. I got the schedule and I am on there every. single. day”. The managers insisted she never told them. But she had the recording on hand. “They told me if I don’t show up I am fired. So I showed up but told them I needed to be home this time, they kept me over my 8 hours and I barely made it home to take the exam,” she said . After, she told them she quit. Reddit users believed the student made the correct move
