My job gives the part-timers schedules on Wednesday, two weeks in advance. According to the part-timers, that’s absolutely unheard of. They say the scheduling is one of the nicest parts of the job, because they can plan more than a few days in advance.
We’ve also had part-timers basically crying when they had to call in sick. Like dude, you’re trapped on the toilet; please stay home. We don’t want you here when you’re sick. We’ll deal with the staffing shortage, just focus on recovering.
How the hell is that not standard? People have lives outside of work.
My part-timer gives me his schedule on Monday.
It’s project work, the “schedule” is really just “when do we do our regular check-in?” and I don’t give a rat’s ass when he does his work, as long as I can reach him whenever he said I could. My boss doesn’t give a shit either, as long as our work gets done.

That sounds wonderful! I remember trying to juggle two jobs and it was damn near impossible because both demanded full availability for part time work, leading to their late-released schedules conflicting constantly. Eventually one fired me after i came in late from the other. My next role I set very clear boundaries that “main job” had first dibs, luckily that place was flexible enough to accommodate the shifting schedules.
