[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 639804, member: 14557"] Of course it may be different in USA but around here it is in fact often easier to get flexibility in hours and schedules in low paying jobs than career type of jobs. Many who work for low paying jobs, and who often are their best workers, require quite a lot of flexibility. They are typically students, stay-at-home-parents, who work just a little to help family finances or people, who work few hours in low paying jobs on top of their regular job to pay something extra. Your average University student doesn't miss her mandatory chem labs or midterms or even too many regular classes for janitor, fast food or retail job. Nor will stay-at-home parent agree to take hours that are not fitting with their spouses work schedule or someone, whose main (and more paying) job is something else is going to cut hours from that to take an extra shift in their second job that they keep to be able to have a three week luxury vacation at Maldives next November. And those companies still really need these workers and because of that, are very used to and willing to accommodate their schedule needs. Few more for different reasons don't make much the difference for the companies and managers. [/QUOTE]
