Does this make me a bad employee?

I've been working at Burger King for 2 years now & I'm always on time & i never call out. I always get there, do my job, then leave. But everytime they try to call me in to cover someone else's shift or they wanna see if I can change my schedule with someone else i usually catch myself saying "no sorry i can't". Because I'm a planner so as soon as i know my schedule i plan my whole week. So does it make me a bad employee if everytime they try to call me in I don't answer the phone? Because since i can't go in at the time they need me to be, i figure, theres no point in calling back if i can't. Is that bad? I mean, can i get fired over something like that or nah? Cause i told my dad about it and he called me a bad employee lol

You'd be a better employee if you answered the phone. Otherwise they don't necessarily know to plan, and hold out hope you might be able to fill whatever their need is.

Ideally they'd come up with a better system than calling around to everyone's phones, however. Most people don't want to be hearing from their workplace when out and about in their personal time.

Well you will never ever be considered for any sort of promotion, can they fire you?You can be fired for any reason or no reason, you have shown them you are NOT a team player so merit raises will not be given you, when you need time off at the last minute they will not give it to you, so yes you would be considered a selfish employee and that will haunt you in the future

Not at all. They phone because they need someone, it does not HAVE to be you. You are not indispensable. When you say no they contact the next on the list. It's no problem.
