I really need tor educe my hours at work. In the interview they said that it'd be between 16-22 hours. So far i've been working apprx 37 on average, and I just can't do it. I'm trying to study full time for my MSc aswel and that is really suffering because I just don't have the free time to work. It's starting to have a negative impact on my relationships my health everything.
I find it **really** hard to stand up for myself and be assertive, i just say 'yes' to everything i'm asked and i probably have the reputation of being a pushover. It's only a christmas temp job and so i'm due to leave at the end of decemeber anyway. So I don't care if it makes the other staff or managers dislike me.
What should I do? How can I go about it? And .. I know this is going to sound utterly pathetic and ridiculous but could I get my mum to ring in and speak to a manager on my behalf and get them to alter my rota? My mum is happy to do so, but i'm like 26 years old so i know it looks pretty pathetic, but i'm literally so petrified of speaking up for myself that i'd rather just work the hours and let my life fall apart...
HELP!!
