Agree with the last part, but the problem with practice of always scheduling people at the last minute is that it prevents those people from working the second job you suggest--they never know when either employer will want them, so they cannot commit to a total of, say, 40 hours. Or for high school/college kids, they cant commit to other activities. My daughter had a retail job like this--it was miserable. She was lucky enough to be able to walk when treated like a commodity
