What Are You Thinking? Continued 14

There are some fantastic avatars in my newsfeed, it's not looking good for me to have a productive day off 🤔
 
If I didn’t get interrupted I would have probably got my balls out and would be creaming my coffee by now
 
It would probably be easier to get started in the morning if the taste of coffee wasn't so revolting. I need an early-morning solution to help me get going. Maybe I'll try humping an electrical socket. Yeah, that sounds like a good idea...
 
Do I ask the temp agency recruiter or the position manager about flexibility of hours? And how do I ask? Is it weird and presumptuous to ask if I can take a couple of hours here and there for taking my parents to appointments when first being offered the job? Or do I reschedule all the appointments they have coming up so that I’ll have been there for a while before needing flexible hours? I could really use advice if anyone has some!

The best thing to do is ask. Just say that you want to understand the situation upfront so you can make informed decisions. The business will know and they should share with you ahead of tome

It's not weird and presumptuous. I would assume that a company that would not allow some time off to take parents to appointments is not a company I want to work for if that is something I have to do.

I think the important thing is to not sound like an entitled asshole when asking these kind of questions. Explain your situation and be upfront with what you already have booked. Ask if it interferes with anything important (like a training that you have to be at on a certain day might warrant an appointment reschedule).

I would start with asking the recruiter if they know the company's policy/ stance. And work from there. Recruiters want to place you and might have some pointers for you to how to approach asking for the time off.
