Who’s right when a parent keeps asking you to cover shifts — the “team player” or the person who already planned their life? In this Unsolicited Perspectives episode Bruce Anthony and Jay Aundrea break down a viral Reddit scenario where a 29-year-old retail worker refuses to cover three shifts for a coworker with kids — and chaos follows. We unpack retail shift culture, parenting vs personal responsibility, manager scheduling vs coworker entitlement, and the line between being kind and being taken advantage of. Expect retail war stories (including a wild Hard Rock bartending tale), hot takes on “team player” pressure, and blunt advice on how to set boundaries at work. Sound off below — tell us: have you ever covered a shift and regretted it? Like, comment, and share if you work retail or love a good workplace debate. #reddit #redditstories #RetailDrama #ShiftSwap #workplaceboundaries #TeamPlayerDebate #unsolicitedperspectives
