I am currently working a hospitality job while going through college. I applied for and have received full time hours (30+) Recently a new person has been doing the schedule. This person has made it known they don't like me personally because of my lifestyle. I have never called off work and am always on time, and always do my job. Since this person has been doing the schedule, my hours have dropped. Next week is a very busy week, and was hoping to work. Not just am I barely working, but my hours are shorter then they have ever been, on the busiest week of the year. I realize this is a remedial job, but I'm almost done with school and don't want to start another one. Is there anything I can do?

Lifestyle?
If you really believe that is the reason for your cut in hours, a confrontation, although it might mean your job seems like the only way to resolve the issue. I think I would go in and ask why your hours have been cut. If they are up front about it, you then have some options, file a complaint with the wage hour board, their supervisor, or quit.

I would go to the labor board in the state and tell them what is going on. There are laws about discrimination. You might want to bring that up to the other persons supervisor first though and tell their supervisor what is going on with the schedueling. See if it can be resolved that way first then let them know that you are aware of laws on discrimination and also let them know that if you are supposed to receive full time hours and are not that there are laws about that also.

When you have asked your supervisor what did they say.

Are others in same job getting less hours, It is common for many companies to hire several part time people so they don't have to pay benefits

And what type of lifestyle, you are not a bass fisherman are you, they are the worst.

Your first recourse is to talk to this person's supervisor, since that have already made known their bias. If you get no satisfaction there, you can try going up the ladder. At this point there is no way you should go outside the company.

No, you talk to your supervisor first, unless they are the problem.
