I work part time at a bakery, maybe 20 hours a week. Last Thursday my coworker texted me asking if I could cover her Saturday shift because she had "something come up." I said I'd have to check and get back to her. I looked at my weekend, realized I had plans I didn't want to cancel, and texted back that I couldn't do it this time. That was Friday afternoon. Saturday morning I get a call from my manager asking why I hadn't shown up. Turns out my coworker had already told him I was covering before I even responded to her. He wasn't angry, just confused, and I explained that I had actually said no. He sorted it out and called her in. When I saw her next shift she said she had "assumed" I would say yes because I'd covered for her twice before and she didn't think I had anything going on. I said those times I actually agreed, this time I didn't. She seemed genuinely annoyed at me, like I was the one who caused the problem. I dont have any big drama with her and I dont want to make it weird at work but I'm still a little baffled that telling someone "let me check and get back to you" somehow became a yes in her head.   submitted by   /u/MobPry [link]   [comments]
