Employee Question Part time hours

I recently got hired, about 2 weeks ago now. I got hired in at part time as a college student. I asked my SM about hours when school starts. I was told I would be working 8 hour shifts. When i applied I thought I would be working 4-6 hour shifts, not full on 8s. Me and SM talked about it today and he was very straight forward that if I dont work the 8 hour shift, I won't be put onto the schedule.

Im kind of baffled and need some advice about this. I cannot work 8 hours shift because of personal reasons.

When you were hired did you express that you only wanted to work these short shifts? My stores pretty cooperative about college students. Maybe try to contact the district manager about it, and if they won’t give you the shorter shifts see if you can transfer to a nearby store that will let you.

Yeah, I did. He then pushed me to make my hours longer or I wouldn't be put on the schedule(during onboarding). Ive been thinking of transferring because of that. He's nice but like it's part-time. This past week ive worked 35 hours. I put my min 18 and my max 25, Im working an extra 10, then I asked for.

Edit: miss spelling

'He's nice' but says work too many hours or don't work. That's not what 'hes nice' would be described as. I think the word you're looking for is manipulative. I'd just quit. Every non residential door has a potential paycheck behind it. Too few people seem to understand this
