I recently experienced a significant reduction in my work hours at my job in Minnesota. Over the past two weeks, my shifts were cut down to just two per week, and I expressed my concerns to the manager-trainer, asking him to relay my request for more shifts to the scheduler. However, when the new schedule was released, I found out that I was only assigned one shift each week. This seems to be a pattern, as several colleagues have faced similar reductions throughout the year, which makes me worry about the future of my position. I have a shift coming up tomorrow, and I'm planning to speak with the new manager, who is still getting trained, to inquire about why my shifts have been reduced and to request my original schedule back. I'm uncertain whether I should confront the manager about this or if I should just file for unemployment without saying anything. It's a tough decision, and I'm feeling the pressure of the situation.
