Whos in the wrong?

What I really wanted to say was "Well if you wanted me here past the times that we agreed to then you shouldn't have cut my hours back!"

You should have said that. It's shitty I know and confrontation is never fun. But that's where you lay your claim and and stick to it. I'm a fan of the apology saying "Hey that's cool you needed X done. But under the circumstances and after you cut my hours how can you expect me to fully fullfill my duties?" It's giving in to them a little and giving it back just enough where you make your point valid so they can't keep on you.

If you totally back down to them they'll see you as an easy target and demand more cause you feel you have to make it up to them and work twice as hard.

If you completely stone wall them they'll usually give you extra pointless shit to do just to annoy you.

So this seems to be the best mix I'd say overall.

I agree! You have to point out where your logic lies or they'll just think you're lazy. Something along the lines of 'I apologize for not getting this done, but in light of my hours being cut, I thought I shouldn't stay past my scheduled time.' That also kind of makes it sound like you were more thinking of them and their needs than your own.

@hobignator. Crunchy tacos are easily broken... If you do not fold the way you are supposed to, you will be thrown out since there are many more taco's just waiting to be eaten. Anyway, it was all sorted. She wasn't pissed at me directly. There was miscommunication, thats all. No big deal.
