I recently started my first job after being unemployed for two years. I applied for a casual role at a well-known retail store, and my first shift was on November 2. During that shift, we mainly went over company policies and store rules, as the manager was unavailable, so we didn't do any actual work. I was told that they would reach out about my next shift, but it's now been a week and I haven't heard anything. My colleagues have already had their second and third shifts, and when I asked my coach about the schedule, I was left on read. I'm feeling disappointed because I had high hopes for more hours. I've also learned that they can end my employment without a formal dismissal process, which has me worried. Did I mess up my first shift? Is this kind of situation normal for new hires?
