I've been out of the job world for several years due to NEET lazy status and recently got a job at a Casino. The work atmosphere is great and everyone is generally over 35 years of age and has been working there for at least a year. Due to my financial situation (disability welfare), I need 1200 a month net which is a sweet spot before the government starts scaling back my income support. This will allow me to work the least hours possible for, when combined with the support, turns out to be maximum gain. I planned to use the extra free time to continue studying to be a software developer however I just got my schedule for the weeks after my first.

It's 40 hours, 5 days a week. I know since I'm the new guy I can't make demands for time off etc but this is different, as I said clearly 18-24 hours a week max. Working weekends sucks but I wouldn't care which days I worked, as long as it was 3 max. What should I do?

This girl my own age (20s) who's been there almost a year has the ideal schedule of 3 days a week, all monday-tues-wed.

Should I talk with the supervisor about the issue or just tough it out for awhile?
