UK. My boss has been cutting my hours really badly recently and I got the flu so I had to take 2 days off (I work in food) and they have now reduced mine, and only my, hours to 0. It's a Christmas period and I need the money, I have rent to pay.. I texted my boss saying “I have no hours over the next 2 weeks…” but I'm going to have to apply for a new job.
This is just a real kick in the face while I'm already down. We have a work party on Friday and I'm going to go because they're paying for the food and I haven't eaten properly in days, but I'll mention that I “can't afford to stay out because my hours have been cut”
