Hey y’all. So I’m a full time student with ASU, taking 16 credits currently, and I’ve had my availability at work set from Sun-Friday 5am-1pm (we open at 5:30). I transferred to this store like four months ago now and I let my SM know I’d like to stay under 25 hrs/week due to being a full time student. Well, for the last two and half months I’ve been getting scheduled 30+ hrs and I’ve continuously let my SM know that that’s too much for me and balancing work + school has been affecting my mental health. She basically told me we’re too short staffed for her to support my availability and that she’s “trying her best” yet she isn’t hiring anyone as far as I know. I submitted a new availability and she has either been ignoring it or hasn’t seen it, which is unlikely given I submitted 4 days ago. Anyway, what are some things I can given the situation I’m in? Do I take this up to the DM? Help D;

Also, I’m not the only one who is being scheduled a lot of hours. Some partners are getting 44hr work weeks (they aren’t students) but still. Is this even okay?
