Bosses don't always appreciate the hard work we do. In this case, one employee was painfully reminded of that truth after they got burned by the strict scheduling. As one of the unlucky part-time employees, OP was doomed to be scheduled for only 10 hours per week at the gas station. Originally, that seemed fine because they were also going to school, but as the money dwindled and the bills piled up, OP had no choice but to seek out more hours.

I guess you could say this guy was locked red-handed!

Nothing like doing exactly what someone tells you to do and having it backfire!

We've all experienced this phenomenon.

It's like something out of a sitcom.
