Why all of a sudden is my work schedule extremely short?

[crazycactus242]

I work at Walmart and yes it is the end of the holiday season. I usually work between 20 and 30 hours a week and work about 4 or 5 shifts. I’ve checked my work schedule for the past couple weeks and I’ve noticed something fishy about it. The next 2 weeks im only working one day a week. One 8 hour shift. Then all the other days I have off. The week after that im completely off the clock and do not work at all. Why is this happening all of a sudden? Im thinking maybe im fired after the holiday season? Not a clue. But I've been working for Walmart since August.

Zero hours contracts can do that, holiday season is over

with my work in the restaurant I was out after New Year as the new chef took over the old chef who took my job (he quit about a month later)
Luckily I was self-employed so just carried on

maybe they've hired too many people for the holiday season, and rather than just dump them all immediately, they're gonna find time for them to work while they slowly lay them off? Which sucks for everyone else, because it's cutting into your regularly scheduled hours.

Might be a good time to start looking for another job. Get a head start.

Business really drops off after Christmas. It sucks but it's normal

[emperor90]

Cause business drops once everyone has spent money

You should ask your manager about it?
