Am I Being Taken Advantage Of?
I have a co-worker that I'm cool with, and we get along great, but she keeps asking me to work her shifts for her. The thing is, she doesn't even really need a day off, she just doesn't want to work. First, it was one day, and I was fine with that, no problem. But then, it was another day, and yesterday, a half day. Then just now she asked me if I could work Labor Day for her, tempting me with the whole time and a half. Honestly I don't care about that, because it's not much of a difference on the paycheck, in my opinion. To me it's not about the money, it's the principle. This is the fourth shift she's asked me to take for her this week! I will take shifts for my co-workers, but when it becomes continuous, I begin to question if they really need a day off or if my kindness is being taken for weakness. Please tell me what I should do in this situation. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

she's only asking you because you keep saying yes.. if you don't need the extra money, then say no. It's easy.
And I don't think you're being taken advantage of necessarily...after all, if you work you're getting money out of it, so there is some benefit to you saying yes...basically, It's just depends on whether or not you feel like working and need the extra money.

I am just like you, very kind to the point i find myself being taken advantage of. Practice the art of saying no nicely. If they continue to try to take advantage of you, you may want to be more aggressive. I know, It really hurt me to learn people are like that. best of luck!

Open your mouth.
Say "No I'm sorry I can't"
Repeat as necessary.
Problem solved.
