Thank you for taking the time to give us your opinion. With our flexible scheduling, based on your availability you should have been able to work-out a mutually beneficial schedule. It is unfortunate you were unable to work with the scheduler or management to obtain a good work life balance. The scheduling will be discussed with the management team.
