And we are in a worker shortage they say but they don't want me.

I forgot about this! I have similar issues when requesting part-time hours. I've even had co-workers pressure me into taking on more hours and say things like "well if you worked more hours..... we wouldn't be so busy/you would learn more etc" I've even had a co-worker tell me that they have health problems and they still work full-time because "you have to do what you have to do"
This is actually what lead me to disclose my mental health issues in the first place because I was always asked why I can't work full-time and honestly I regretted every time I disclosed that info. I was treated differently by co-workers and my bosses. So I think this is def something I'd like to include in my plans.
