Hi Sam,

I forgot to mention that we will be doing the Yurt and Site orientation at 11am on Saturday the 1st, but then after that you will not be on duty for the day.  It will be about a 1 hour training.

Hi Sam,

If you are willing to work the whole shift that day, it would be much appreciated.  Looking at next month’s schedule I am going to end up swapping your days off to Friday and Saturday, so after you work the 10-6pm shift on Friday the 28th you would then have another day off on Saturday the 1st as it leads into the new month’s days off schedule.

[Volunteer Services Lead],

I appreciate the attempt you made here, but I think it is caused by a misunderstanding.

That thing with [Park Ranger 1]? I think you learned the wrong thing from it. Our first exchange was natural. The next day it was clinical. It was unnatural. And when I asked for clarity, he doubled down.

I was never upset with him. I just saw the change in behavior and felt it was inauthentic. And I don't do inauthentic.

You can be real with me. I don't need to be managed.

If you need me to cover a shift, you know I'm the easiest person in the world to ask. And I know you are just being thoughtful.

Sam

Hi there Sam, I hope you are doing well,

I wanted to get in touch with you about a potential shift swap on the 28th of this month.  I have [Park hosts] heading out on the 28th and I had them scheduled for the evening shift that day.  I was hoping you would be able to cover that 2-6pm shift for the day instead of the 10am – 2pm shift as they would like to leave before it gets dark.  The evening shift on a Friday is going to be busier than the morning shift most likely and it would work better for coverage and being available to campers who have any questions or are needing firewood or ice etc.
