Hello, I'm sorry to hear you're having problems with your manager regarding your shifts. If your manager is not listening to your requests I recommend speaking to the Area Manager of contact Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) which you can find details of here: https://colleagues.coop.co.uk/contacts/get-in-touch ^Catherine
