Specialty My Job Changed Overnight—Now My Hours Are Disappearing

[AlbusStuart1178]

I could really use some advice from those who have been in a similar position.

I was hired as an HR Expert, excited to apply my skills and experience to foster workplace excellence. However, after just two months, I was moved to a different requisition without explanation. Since then, I’ve spent the past five months as a Tech Consultant, adjusting and making the most of the transition.

Lately, though, my work hours have been drastically reduced—this next week, I’m only scheduled for four hours, and the following week, nothing. This has been happening for a month now, and it’s raising serious concerns about my stability and future within the company.

I want to make a strategic decision about my next steps, but I’m unsure how to approach this situation. Should I push for more clarity internally? Start actively looking elsewhere? Has anyone else navigated a similar role shift and sudden drop in hours?

Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Common event. Take the hours.
Welcome!

Seems like they are trying to get rid of you without having to actually fire you. When downgrading your role didn’t work, they are now playing the lost hours game, hoping you’ll quit.

There is NO internal clarity. They're trying to bone you. You likely are not a protected species. How old are you?

First off, why did you use ChatGPT to write this for you? Second off, this is sadly common at Spot. Sounds like someone higher up the chain is out to get you and they're looking to push you out. Really sorry about that but it's probably time to look for another job if this continues

I’m sorry for asking but similar to me I transferred to my current store for FF because there was a pilot program happening and it was near my school. I used to be gm. I have my desired hours at 30. Only been given 18 or 20. About to be my second month. Now new schedule comes out I got only 6 hours. I admit I don’t got like fully open availability but it’s Monday to Sunday 6 am to 2:30 pm. I was told that sousing be an issue when I transferred. Idk if they’re trying to get rid of me, but how do I go in asking my ETL about this respectfully?
