They refuse to make small adjustments out of sheer selfishness when he asks them too and he constantly has poor sleep.
So I turned it down, citing "health reasons" and they guessed it's mental health related. :/
There might be another similar position. Doesn't have the generous shift allowance, but it starts 630am. Commute might be a problem since I live over an hour away, don't drive, first train is 545am. Even if I could drive, it's not my car and Narc Dad is still his abusive self...

Turning it down makes sense to me and that schedule would be hard on anyone. Well done for doing what's best for you. I am so much worse when I don't sleep properly.
I hope you find another job soon.
