Finding More Predictable Shifts

Your friend Tessa works at Buttonbox Homewares, a household goods store in Flintwell, a mid-sized city in Manitoba. Her manager keeps changing her shifts without warning, sometimes after she has already arrived at the store. This makes it difficult to plan her week and keep personal appointments. Tessa enjoys helping customers and needs the income, but she is unsure whether to speak with her manager or start looking for another job.
