I work supermarket retail, My company's ceo scored a multi million dollar bonus this year while I had to have a mini mental breakdown in front of my store manager to have a day off because I asked under 2 weeks away, even tho it was before rosters were done.....

My way of fighting them is teaching every single one of the workers their rights as an employee and how to express them to the management without having to admit something that can be used against them and most importantly, join the union because they're not only your friends, they hate your company more than you and love nothing more than beating them into submission again, you've also got access to a lawyer should that ever need to happen.

Your gotta remind them politely that you will give 100% of your energy that day or I'll work to the best of my ability today, they can't say you haven't worked to the best of your ability that day as only you know that.
