I’m 18 year old from Ontario, Canada and have been working at this retail job for close to two years now, and would usually get 3-5 shifts a week being 5 hours each, (which isn’t the best but I didn’t mind it at the time), and got that many hours for a little more than a year.
Till about 5–7 months ago they started scheduling me once a week, being 3 hours, and MAX 5 hours if I’m lucky. I really do believe I’m a good employee as I have great customer service skills, I’m always doing what I’m told, never late etc… and I just follow all the workplace rules accordingly.
I’ve asked several times for more hours and I haven’t seen an improvement on the scheduling, and their reasoning would be how there aren’t enough hours. PLUS they’ve been hiring new people. Also, my availability is for anytime and I’ve mentioned this multiple times, and My manager frequently cuts my shifts if I do ever get any.
Are there any approaches I can take to this?
Money is a little tight with my family right now, and I really do need the money for my personal expenses. I am currently looking for a new job btw!
Thx in advance 🙂
