Upbeatyetquiet's journey

I recently experienced a significant reduction in my work hours at my current job. I used to have a consistent schedule from Monday to Thursday, often picking up extra shifts to make it five days a week. However, my hours have now been cut down to just one day a week. The only explanation I've received is that it's due to labor costs, yet I notice that new employees are being hired. I had even picked up a shift for the upcoming week, which was approved on the 26th, but it was later removed from my schedule. Thankfully, I took a screenshot of my original schedule as proof. Additionally, I found out that another employee, who was recently hired, can't work on Tuesdays, which complicates things further. I'm also concerned about my health insurance since I'm only working one day a week. I'm worried that I might have to pay the company back, which feels like I'm essentially working for free. Given these circumstances, I am actively looking for a new job and have filed a claim for unemployment.
