y’all idk how to even describe this. im a server at a busy restaurant. 

the past week ive been getting nonstop texts from my manager like “can you please come in x has covid” “can you please work x” “can you work x and x?”

ive said no so many times it’s gotten to a point im too anxious to even answer the texts anymore. i’m so anxious that she’ll be so mad at me for saying no so many times. but i only get certain days off a week(1-2) and i really need that time to rest or run errands i wasn’t able to do since im at work all the time.

it got so bad that tonight my manager texted and asked if i could come in tomorrow morning (when i already am scheduled to work that evening). i didnt reply at first, bc, im at work. but also because i’m super anxious because i said no 3 times before. i’m worried im going to get fired or she’ll hate me even more than she already does. 


is it so bad to keep ignoring them? i’m literally on do not disturb rn because i got a nasty text from a girl that works with me saying “you know it would be a lot less stressful and helpful for us if you would just say no or you’re busy.

then i cried :’-) they don’t know how hard it is for me to send a text saying “no im busy”

i understand it’s rude, but i don’t know how to get over it. can anyone even relate??

thank y’all so much if u read this ;’-)
