I let my previous employer bully me with scheduling like this for a solid 2 years before I put my foot down and said I can no longer be scheduled earlier than 9. I got so sick of getting out at midnight, getting home by like 1, and then having to be in at 6 day. Especially since I’m not one that can just go to bed, it takes me an hour or two to wind down, so it ended with me going to sleep at like 2/3 just to get up at 5, chug a coffee and then drive to work for 6. This happened every sunday into monday, so I would always start my week dead to the world.
They tried the whole “well you’ll get less hours” stich with me but like, honestly at that point I would rather have /less/ hours and have proper sleep than deal with being sleep deprived for the week.
This or, putting your foot down on it.
