He jumped the gun thinking that she was in and changed her rota immediately to the new store. Today she found out her pay increase for this heap of a new work load and title was 25p.. an extra 25p and the expectation to run a failing store.. she called today and firmly and kindly declined.

He later came in today and has changed all the hours and rota to be inconvenient and to top it off to be really salty cut my hours for no reason.

I now can’t help but feel awful for my manager who works her butt off doing 20+ more hours then everyone for an extra 25p.
