Minor things that bother you

Also, those kids that were raised in a 'germ filled' daycare will very likely have much healthier adult immune systems than those who are raised in bubble-wrapped sterility.

All daycares are germ filled.

Sure, but not every kid goes to daycare.

Every day goes to every kid.

I can't think of a single person I know well who doesn't have a set schedule, other than a few who own their own business.  I know people who work in public education, aircraft manufacturing, customer service, medical offices, avionics engineering, apartment maintenance, you name it—and they all have a set schedule, the large majority of which are daytime hours, and all of which are usually Monday–Friday unless overtime is in effect.

Then—and I fully admit this is going to sound ridiculous to you, but it's true—you either mostly know people who are more well off than average, or Wichita is an outlier among American cities. Having a consistent schedule is a luxury these days.

Scheduling at large corporate retail concerns and fast food places is normally done these days through the use of software (Kronos and its competitors) which generate the schedule using sales data to ensure an optimally-profitable staffing level. I am not sure what options are available to management when telling it to generate such a schedule, but I know the set commonly used in retail does not take "what employee's schedule was last week" into account when generating the schedule. A consistent schedule week to week is basically only done when a human sets the schedule by hand—and even that is no guarantee of a consistent schedule. At the last casino I worked at, the consistent schedules were all given out in order of seniority, and then the newest employee's schedule changed every week to cover for when other employees took vacation time.

And if work scheduled you when they weren't supposed to, they made it clear that it wasn't really their problem, and correcting their mistake was something they were not obligated to do if it wasn't convenient for them.

I struggle to understand how the robo-scheduler programs are an improvement versus teaching a retail manager how do it correctly.  The retail industry in my observation has never been very good at management training and has only been getting worse this last decade.

People have always been that way.  Social media just tries to convince you otherwise.

I think it was on this board that someone posted this, but people never really leave HS. Workplaces all have bullies, cliques, and teacher's pets.
