So basically what happened today, they needed someone to go part time and picked me. They were only going to give me 21 hours per a fortnight.
I said I’ll think about it (they said that I only had a day to think about), as it is extremely less than my casual hours I get (around 36-38 a fortnight). They also knew I was trying to find another job.
So the manager tried to tell the regional manager that I wasn’t fond of the hours given. Plus, that means I would be getting paid less (at the moment it’s $1200AUD a fortnight) and with this new arrangement it’s $800-ish AUD a fortnight. Quite a lot less in this economy).
Then the regional manager calls me, and basically said along the lines that if I don’t take it, he’ll give it to someone less and I’ll be getting less shifts as I’ll be a casual and only had 30 minutes to decide. So I said yes and now the hours will be 31 a fortnight. And I said yea because I’m struggling to find a better job. So now I’ll have to find another part time job to make more money. I do have an interview with another job that if I get will be paying me $33-$35 an hour compared to $22 an hour here.
Any interview tips would be appreciated. Thank you!
