Fired for changing availability?

Hi everyone. Currently my employer thinks it is reasonable to schedule me (and many others) 14 hours a week. I am a full-time student and my bills exceed the money I will make from working this many hours. A previous employer is hiring for the weekend team (strictly 16 hours) which still wouldn't be enough. My question is, if I am hired for that position, can I change my availability at my other job to exclude Saturday and Sunday without consequence? I'd anticipate getting even less hours, but even 8 would bring me to a total of 24, which is really what I need in order to make ends meet.

Thanks.

    Check with the manager at your current job. He/she may be fine with letting you work weekdays only, or he/she may not be willing to keep you if you can't work weekends. Depends on the needs of the business and the manager's preference. But it can't hurt to ask!

    Yes you can be terminated if your new availability does not work for your employer. Your employer DOES NOT have to work around this new schedule. You work for THEM, not the other way around.
