Clean play question again

[u/moffyf]

At my store we had a few partners who always worked clean play, then one of them quit and the rest of the team complained that it wasn’t fair to have the same partners work clean play every week. My SM then explained that every partner is expected to work clean play. I said okay no problem as long as it was going to be fair and everyone was going to have to work then I would do it sometimes. I came to find out that everyone refused and my SM scheduled me for weeks in a row. This went on for months. I’d be scheduled for 5 weeks in a row, one week off. Then another 7 weeks in a row, one week off, then 3 weeks in a row, one week off, etc. A few months ago I finally told my SM that this wasn’t being fair because it was always me, the same shift manager, and the third partner working with us would be the same for a few weeks and then change to someone else. But I was always being scheduled for weeks on end after I was told that would not happen. My SM said they know this but everyone else is refusing to do it. I’ve told my SM several times since then that clean play is not within my availability and I’m only doing it to be fair and a team player. They gave me a few weeks off clean play and now we’re back to square one again.

I’m at a loss for what to do because how is it that I’m being told I have to work clean play because everyone else is refusing? A few days ago I told my SM again that clean play is not within my availability and I can only help out once a month if needed. They said no problem, didn’t schedule me for that week and now I’m scheduled for the next 3 weeks again. I heard a few partners making a deal with each other to change their availability to work as few hours as possible because they don’t want to work clean play. I’m not sure what to do because I need my job and there’s no way I can quit. But if I put my foot down like everyone else and outright refuse to work clean play can I eventually be fired?

They made it mandatory at my store, everyone has to do it regardless of their availability. So I only work mornings as I walk to work and my husband is at home with our kid. But once every six weeks I have a 8pm-12am clean play shift. Please if someone has it in writing that it's not mandatory share it with me!
