I recently took up a part time position at a newly opening store part of a corporate coffee branch. At my interview (which I was hired on the spot at which is apparently a red flag) I told them I could do 24, maybe 30 hours per week. Currently we’re wrapping up training with the store opening next week. I was supposed to have tomorrow off but they updated the online rota tonight (without contacting me first) to give me a ten hour shift stating 7am tomorrow. Only found out about this at 1am. No way they can expect me in tomorrow. No respect for my time? Well no respect for theirs either.
I’m also scheduled for 53 hours of work next week, with three 12 hour shifts three days in a row. Here in the UK forty hours a week is considered standard full time hours.
Even though this is a minimum wage job, I still put in a ton of effort into my shift and I guess for that I’ve been rewarded with copious amounts of hours. I’m only eighteen as well, and even if I was a full grown adult, the disrespect of my time is disgusting.
