I’m currently job hunting. I am looking to do part time since I find 4 days on, 3 days off to be a better balance for my mental health. I applied at a job that stated their pay is $14 – $18 an hour and that they’re looking for part time and full time employees. It’s a food service job and I have 2 years food service experience + 4 years customer service experience. I should be a perfect fit.
They seemed to really like me in the interview but then when it got to pay I told them I’m looking for $18 as that’s what my current job pays. They said the $18 an hour is only for full time employees. They can only pay me $14.
Why?… We already don’t get benefits because we’re part time. Why do we get paid less too? What difference does it make when a part time person works a shift vs a full time person? I’m baffled.
