My boyfriend works 3rd shift at a job that that has lots of room for upward mobility, but his position is kind of low on the totem pole. He was looking for new work for a while but caught wind from his superiors (who he is in good standing with) that he’s the next in line to move up. This means he could get off 3rd shift and make a lot more money, which he really needs right now.

Last week my boyfriend was asked to work 3 days of 1st shift at a second location this upcoming week. They didn’t tell him why but he jumped on the opportunity. He theorizes that they’ll looking for a new supervisor at this second location and they can use this chance to see how well he works there. He asks me if I can make sure he’s up at 8:30-9 Monday morning and I figure sure, no problem, I’m always up by then anyway.

For some relevant information, he was up at 10am Sunday then went to work at 9pm, then came back home at about 4am and went to bed shortly after. Both our alarms go off at the same time at 8:30am but he cannot be woken up. He is the heaviest sleeper I have ever met, he will sleep through natural disasters if he’s tired enough. I try to get him up and all I get is snapped at to “fuck off”. I go give myself some space and at a little after 9 I try again. He’s coherent enough to tell me that he isn’t bothering, he absolutely cannot get up and be functional right now.

On one hand, I know that being awake for so long has to be very hard and switching schedules is even harder, and since his job involves operating heavy machinery he had a point. But on the other hand I’m so upset because he need a promotion. He lives paycheck to paycheck and I’m happy to chip in more since I make more (we live together) but I’m about to have new car payments and I would like to see him start saving. We’ve been talking about moving and potentially my going back to grad school and we both agreed that can’t happen until he has a better position. He could have just ruined his chances.

TLDR: Boyfriend slept through an opportunity to look good for a potential promotion at work. He didn’t sleep in because he is lazy, he slept in because he worked an 8 hour shift after being up for 12 hours before that. It’s not my job or my life but I’m still mad anyway because we’re stuck in a rut until he advances in his career. AITA?
