And I agree with your DH...I think he acted very immaturely.
I work in the retail field at a frozen food store, and I have been working there for almost 3 years.
I was initially hired for Monday-Friday day shifts, with 38-42 hours per week. During slower months, my hours would be reduced to about 32 per week. I also worked one Saturday per year for our charity BBQ and about 28-31 days in December, our busiest time.
In September, the owner of the business sold it and the new owner decided not to change the hours. However, one of the other day staff members quit in March, leaving me to work 6 days a week with a total of 52 hours. The owner had initially approached me about training for a manager position, but after the other staff member quit, he decided he didn't have time to train me.
After the other staff member quit, the new manager was hired and took over the schedule, leaving me with only 22-26 hours per week. She also gave me shifts on Thursdays and Fridays, which I had not previously worked, and took weekends off despite not having children. The owner also did not keep his promise to have me only work one Saturday per month.
Yes, my husband has suggested that I quit due to the decrease in hours and the lack of consideration for my personal schedule and family commitments. I am hesitant to do so because of the current economy, but I am also looking for a job that better fits my family's needs.
