I’ve been working for a security company for 2 years now while being a full time student and balancing two internships for to separate companies during these two years. Since last august I haven’t been put on the schedule as much as I was during the first year with the first internship. Now I’ve missed a month of rent and I’m stressed out. I’ve had multiple discussion where I request more time to work and have updated each scudule manager each semester of the changes in times that will balance with my school and internship schedule.
