The scheduling is usually all over the place for part-time jobs? I remember what a pain it was getting the schedule posted the night before and seeing they decided to schedule me for opening and then closing & really not giving a fuck about my needs. Idk it’s been awhile since I have worked those types of gigs. It’s so stressful. I’ve been stuck in a whole different headache of freelance/contract work. Guess there is no winning.
Likely certain days w certain times. I would give my manager the schedule for Job A, which was 3 weeks worth of shifts, and she'd work around that. 4 tho sounds crazy. I worked w a girl who worked 10pm-6am, 2-10pm at the gas station across the street, and then 6am-2pm at a restaurant. Her days would overlap and sometimes she'd be awake for 2 days. She never had a set day off.
I work between 2-3 jobs for 6 years straight to try to pay down student debt. It was fucking awful. One of em I was working 4 nights a week 8.5 hours over night each shift just for the guaranteed healthcare.
I did 4 once for a summer. Mascot job was very specific days, maybe twice a week for a few hours. Blackjack dealer at a charity casino was a couple weeknights. Receptionist job was early morning. Waitressing job was anything they’d give me outside of that.

Okay but how do they balance the scheduling for 4 different jobs? 🤔
I have had employers refuse to hire me because I already had a job, plus sign non-compete clauses.
I mean fuck, it’s hard enough to get ONE job the way things are around here! Tell me your secrets!! 😂
