So I was working 32 hours a week because this is what I requested. I have been here 5 years now (longest employee). This new girl came in and they gave her 40 hours, I was originally working 24 hours a week 2 years ago but had decided to up my hours since I need them now (I have a family now).
Well to give me the hours I want, they give her a day on the evening to keep her 40 hours, she does not seem to get along with anyone though, and she has only been working here for 7 months. I work my 32 hours a week after. Well the guy who was working 4 days quit his job, so they got someone working 5 days a week and put her back on the day shift full again and reduced my hours (I been working these hours for 1 year now) back to 24 again.
I was pissed essentially and said why my hours were reduced and they said she does not get along with the evening crew and will put her in the day. I told them this is not fair as now I will lose my benefits and lose pay because of this. They tell me it has to be Monday to Friday to be full time. However I looked on the schedule and see 2 new people they just got that work Wednesday, Sunday, Monday. Another as well working 3 days in the week. But they tell me there is nothing they can do for me. I essentially said okay let me work a day in the evening as a permanent and they said no we are hiring for Monday to Friday there as well..
I get pissed because no one can live on 24 hours a week. They tell me ask the girl and maybe check if she is willing to give you a chance and five you her hours. (I trained this girl).
I got pissed and contacted my boss and told him if this is not fixed I am going to my union as this is total disrespectful. That boss said this is not normal you have seniority! You should not be begging newer people for hours. You should be getting the hours you need. He said he will talk to my supervisor.
He even said if you like I can call you a day before short notice and tell you to come into work if someone needs to be replaced or if one of the new workers need a day off. I was like his is backwards, its me who is suppose to be getting shifts… after all these years working here…
My supervisor is now pissed at me because I went ove his head.
EDIT ADD,
But I also do a lot of supervisor work and help out the management doing some work for them, so I would be doing all this, with less hours than everyone else.
