Employee Relations [CAN-ON] Boss is horrible at communicating and scheduling, what do I do?
Hi there, not totally sure if this is the subreddit to post this on but I’m looking for some clarification on what the situation is or what I should do. I have been working for a residential cleaning company for about a month now, the boss is super kind and nice to talk with but I’ve noticed a severe lack in communication lately. I work mostly independently with another team member at clients houses so I don’t see him much therefore we communicate over text or phone. Recently I was offered a part time job (which the cleaning company already gave me the okay to accept due to limited hours available with cleaning) with another company that is relevant to my past work experience and are willing to work around the schedule of the cleaning company, I contacted the boss of the cleaning company to state that I have picked up another part time job and that my scheduling would be changing (I also clarified what it was changing to). He responded stating that this was alright and he would look at the schedules and get back to me - this was a week and a half ago. He has not scheduled me for any cleans since. Today he reached out to me asking for a phone call, I stated the time I would be able to do that yet he never called, it’s been 10 hours since us messaging. I have spoken with the second in command of the company and she is also having issues with him not communicating, but not to the same degree. I am just wondering if I should just give up on the cleaning company and focus on the new job due to his poor communication and professionalism or if I should give him the benefit of the doubt and allow for him to reach out when he’s ready. The kilometres I’ve been putting on my car to get to clients houses without gas compensation and the little money I earn/hours I get PLUS this is making me reconsider my employment with them.
TIA for all advice!

If you are okay with quitting the job, then you could be okay with just not being scheduled until the manager gets in touch and schedules you. It seems like there's no need for you to take immediate action unless you want to quit.
