I've been working at least 30 hours a week as a “casual employee” covering dozens of shifts since I started this job about two months ago. I am one of the few people who actually cleans the store as well.
A few days ago I asked my manager if he could help me by moving my shift up by one hour so I could ensure I was on time for work after my monthly food bank appointment.
He then asked me if I could take the appointment over Zoom while working. I explained to him essentially what a food bank is and his response was, “don't they deliver?”
Yesterday I had an interview at another store in the same industry that was for a full time position at the same rate I'm paid now. Sincerely hope it goes through, fingers crossed. If I am hired I definitely will not be giving two weeks to the old job.
