My job did that to me also..I went from 25 to 20 back 25 to 15 to 10 and then I ask what was going on and they said they didn't have enough hrs, but they would give me more, they cut my hours to 9 hours. that wasn't even worth driving to work and home. I quit. Now I have nothing also its horrible and I can't find another job. Especially now that I'm 20 weeks.
