Yeah I have a few managers who get reallllly pissy if you ask for your schedule over the phone. I live forty minutes and a bridge toll away though so they can survive with me calling and asking imo, especially since so many people just don't come in to work and don't give prior notice either. At least I bloody show up.
Yesterday we were working on those changes in the betty's dept. and the manager said it was one of the first days that everyone actually showed up since she started working there.
